Nope, but there should be shouldn't there.
In fact, if this forum was made today it would have just such a thing... and it's kinda mad that it doesn't exist.
And now you edge into the craziness of vBulletin and the company that own them, and how they haven't done anything useful to improve the software in the longest time.
And then you get into the politics of it all, as one of the key devs on vBulletin left ages ago and started to write a new product from the ground-up in the right way.
That new product is called XenForo, and it's pretty damn sweet. But it's not ready for LFGSS levels of traffic and is still in beta. But XenForo will have a much richer interface (like... an interface rather than just HTML).
As soon as XenForo is ready I'll jump... but until then we're stuck on an older version of vBulletin and it lacks some really needed functionality and there's nothing in the works for it.
All that said... if you wanted to build an API I'd give you a copy of the software. Note: It's in PHP and within 6 months I'll hopefully move to XenForo in which case we'd need you to build the API again.
