Yes, but I would have to be quite satisfied that someone (preferably, a number of people) were quite serious about writing a client before I published an API.
I'd be willing to work out what you'd need to change in the javascript if I could get non-obsfucated versions of the site script to see what its doing. Debugging that code makes my head hurt 🙁

... and I'd still be v. interested in an API, even if its just at a game level so you can list games/make moves - this would be easy enough to add into an existing chess client.
