I'd love to have a JSON knowledge base API that could deliver the categories, articles, and HTML-rendered contents. I want help to be more tightly integrated with my site and so I want to be able to bring up help topics in lightbox-esque fashion as appropriate. jQuery+JSON would be perfect for this. I'd even open-source the resulting jQuery plugin!

    We're definitely working towards that. We've got most of it done, but just need to massage it a bit before announcing it so we don't change the API on people half way through their development.

    Nope, unfortunately our API has taken a back seat while we fix bugs and push out a couple more features. We're hoping to release it in the next 2-3 months.

    Are you still using Tender? We have a FAQ api now, but it's not quite documented yet.

    Rick, looking at this know for ourselves too :) We have a client that has no internet access (they use a downloaded version of our app) and now I'm looking at scraping together all our articles :) Any details about the FAQ api?

    I just added the FAQ API article yesterday.

    Also, someone that's been testing our Webhook setup suggested events for published/updated FAQs. We'll be adding that really soon.
