I would also like this. For fun I looked at the Arch Linux bbs, which
turns out to use something called FluxBB, which turns out to have had a
couple abortive attempts at adding a rest API, the most recent of which
fizzled out in 2016. Oh well.

Perhaps Hacker News would be a good (relatively simple) first testing
ground.
