G’day everyone, and apologies if this is the wrong forum for this kind of 
conversation.

An interesting question 
<https://github.com/captainsafia/legit/issues/14#issuecomment-284042329> came 
up on some SPDX-related work a colleague and I have done, and I wondered if 
perhaps there was a general topic here.  The basic question was:

Does SPDX have a similar JSON API that can be used to fetch licenses?        
[“similar” here refers to the GitHub License API 
<https://developer.github.com/v3/licenses/>]

Is there a plan for such a thing?  I realise this can be emulated quite well 
via HTTP requests to the SPDX license-list GitHub repository 
<https://github.com/spdx/license-list> (and in fact that’s exactly what we’re 
doing), but a more traditional public API might help encourage adoption.  wdyt?

Cheers,
