The current solution that I use is based on the pwclient tool, and I have no idea if that uses the REST api under the hood or not. If this project gets picked up by students in GSoC then hopefully they can provide feedback to you on any API enhancements. I do have a working setup on gitlab that I can share, but again this assumes Notmuch is part of the toolchain.
