Replying to [comment:11 mantepse]:
> I agree that the situation could be better from the sage point of view.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
>

SageMath users, and it tries very hard. In fact, I believe that most of
the effort went into the web interface.''' I think this is very
important, so I make it boldface :-)
Agreed. The website is nice as a website.
> Currently, I (Martin) am mainly interested in using FindStat from within
SageMath. I asked Christian whether this would be possible, and so he
provided me with the necessary information to create this interface.
This is where I do not agree. The solution to make it Sagemath-friendly is
not the interface proposed in this ticket. There should be another web
interface for interaction with Sage. This is not the hard part of the
work.
> I agree that a clean API is desirable, but it is beyond my knowledge,
and beyond the human resources of the !FindStat project. (As far as I
know, there are currently five people who contributed to the !FindStat
project -- all listed here: http://www.findstat.org/Contributors. My
first and so far only contribution (apart from editing statistics) is the
interface, but actually, this is more a contribution to !SageMath, isn't
it?)
In its current version, I am not sure this interface does more good to
Sagemath than to Findstat.
> Therefore, if you are able to provide such a clean interface, please go
for it!
I would if the code was freely available... please go release it!
