After a quick search of the archives and some poking through the code I’ve come to the conclusion that there is currently no such API available. I would love to be corrected here. Any of the experts know if a REST API has been discussed for future versions? Has something already been implemented that I am just not seeing?

I ask because I am interested in putting together a simple desktop client to handle some admin functions. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

I’m also looking for the REST API for bbPress but unable to find info on it either.

Try not to bump very old topics at least older than a year, especially ones that are 8 years old!!

There is an API or an example API in the Jetpack plugin.

There have been users trying to make apps with bbPress.

WordPress JSON Rest API bbPress and Android

Also know there has been work to introduce an API into WordPress.

And there already have been plugins in development for compatibility between the WP-REst API and bbPress like this one.

Any contributions for any work toward any type of bbPress Rest API are welcome and much appreciated.
