Ha! ;-) This leads a little bit off-topic here, maybe it's
better off-list, on #956705, or elsewhere:
Can I expect API stability cycles of Discourse long enough, that
it were practical to have a client (library) in stable?
I'm not talking about one site running on nightlies, but
something serious, e.g. the Gnome instance.

Nothing shown by default, but when I unblock CDNs, there is a
long "Loading...", then "A script on this page may be busy, or
it may have stopped responding", but finally a download link:
https://docs.discourse.org/swagger.json
In which I read:

My fear is, that an un(der)documented API might also not be
long-term stable, even if such a disclaimer is not present.
