Current RESTfull API is very incomplete, there is no possibility to add configurable products (for example) or product attributes. Big problem is with product attributes with predefined values (dropdown), where now you can't add product trough API if certain attribute doesn't already exists - and also there is no way to add the attribute trough api.

Instead of XML-RPC, how about going down the path of REST protocol as webservice?

NETZKOLLEKTIV Core API Extension for Magento extends the Magento Core API and adds many missing methods to it:

Would love to have more methods, for example:
- Get a list of Stores View, Stores, Websites
- Manage Catalog Rules
- Add/Create Full product Attributes
- Manage Reviews & Ratings as well
- Manage Newsletter & Subscribers
Would love to have the API much more quicker as well. -

Actually making the documented XML-RPC work would be a huge benefit. Some XML samples would also be a help. Try partially shipping or invoicing something and you will see what I mean.

Making it easier to extend the api v2 (e.g. removing the need to build the wsdl.xml manually) would make it easier to integrate magento with java/.net applications.

I think Varien have already expressed there commitment to extending and improving Magento APIs, and I agree that it is an essential component to fostering a vibrant developer community.

PHP (UK) have been working on our extended webservices component (Mammoth Webservices) for Magento for a number of months now.
I gave a presentation about it at the Mage::Camp conference in London earlier this year.
It adds and extends a number of webservices, including :
- customer authentication
- order creation
- add/remove/update/clear cart
- tags
- ratings
- reviews
- wishlistsUsing Mammoth Webservices it is entirely possible to go through the entire process of choosing products, creating an order and paying for it completely via the API - without any need to interact with the Magento front-end at all.
In addition to all of the above, we've also added REST and JSONRPC interfaces, as well as maintaining the existing SOAP and XML-RPC functionality.
We expect Mammoth to be ready for commercial release in the next 2 - 3 weeks. It will be priced at $399.99 per Magento instance when it is released.
You can download the beta version of Mammoth Webservices from our website at http://www.eecommerce.com/downloads

The API is rediculously slow and incomplete. For example it is not possible to remotely place a product in a person's basket.
