I only heard of BibLibre's "koha-restful" recently. I didn't thoroughly review the code, but it appears that it only uses IP-based authentication at the moment. I think it was missing all the functionality that I desired as well, so I decided not to use it.
BibLibre wrote koha-restful to fix the lack of possibilities IDS-DI can provide. We are highly open-minded to contributions (merge request, patches, etc.), if you find some time :) If you want to add features, you can send us a patch at dev_patches AT biblibre DOT com You can find more information about it into README file and opac/rest.pl documentation on http://git.biblibre.com. Cheers, Jonathan

Since there are an indeterminate number of third-party software systems using the existing API, I'd recommend versioning and using v2 to handle things more RESTfully.
I agree. We should think twice before breaking existing integrations and workflows.
I am also interested to hear peoples opinions about Koha's HTTP APIs in general: - do you want them expanded? for what use cases? - and more importantly: should Koha's templates make use of i'ts own APIs?
My library certainly think this could be a fruitful direction for Koha to go, and want to help make it happen. But if there is no big interest in the community in this approach, we'll more likely to fork and/or contribute to Biblibre's koha-restful instead of patching the svc and ILS-DI APIs.
