Define the API

For now we have this: http://goo.gl/qMqc20

We should define /exactly/ what we need to store and what we need from the API. Also, since it seems that the API will be a separate server, how it's going to communicate with the rest of the network.

Time to work on this :-)

There's been discussion on IRC around the language to use for this - I feel like Python would be pretty suitable for this, is has great JSON support and an awesome MongoDB driver, and it's my strongest language so I feel like I'd be put to best use with it.

And given that it's basically a thin API, as far as I can see, Python appears to be pretty ideal.

What I'd need to know, basically, is what API calls are needed and where I'm pulling data from.
