Hi Florent,

A JSON API would be awesome!

We haven't really scoped out *exactly* what we'll be doing on our side with
respect to our dashboard integration quite yet, so I'm not ready to file a
formal request with your team at this moment. However, once we've discussed
it more internally and have a better idea of that, I'll definitely fill out
a request.

Thanks!
