A REST API to GnuCash would be very nice. Doing it with PHP though may be very 
difficult since there are no external PHP bindings to the GC - at least not 
that I am aware of.

There are Python bindings though, so creating a REST interface in Python 
should theoretically be *much* easier than doing the same in PHP. How much of 
the internal GC API and functionality are exposed via the Python bindings I am 
not sure, so the available functionality may or may not be limited.

As have been mentioned countless times on this list, interfacing directly to 
the backend database is not yet feasible, so the only real option is to use 
whatever functionality GC exposes directly.
