Hi,
my favorite answer is โIt depends!โ ๐
What do you want to do?
Case 1: An Application should talk to FirstSpirit (Application --> FirstSpirit)
FirstSpirit itself has a Java-API (but as far as I know no REST-API) which you can use to build up a connection to FirstSpirit from another Java-Application and then do everything you can do by using the UserInterface.
You can find information about this API in the FirstSpirit-Documentation and you can find the JavaDoc here: http://www.e-spirit.com/odfs52/access/
Case 2: FirstSpirit should talk to another Application e.g. obtain data during a generation, or trigger an operation if a user clicks a button or something (FirstSpirit --> Application)
Here you could write a FirstSpirit Module (which is also using the Java-API which I have mentioned above) containing a Module-Component matching to your needs (e.g. a Service, a DataAccessPlugin, an Executable, etc.). From inside of this module noting should stop you to call an external REST-API and do all of the CRUD-Operations you want to do.
You can find more information about FirstSpirit Modules in the FirstSpirit-Documentation.
So if you want to connect another application with the Help of a REST-API so that a User in the SiteArchitect or ContentCreator can do CRUD-Operations in this application you will have to write this integration by yourself but is should be possible.

Whare can I download the Documentation, because I need some credentials for http://www.e-spirit.com/odfs52/access/?
