Does steem have a REST API?

I'm looking at adding support for steem to various webapps but PHP and a lot of common apps do NOT have support for websockets (natively and without plugins.  I'm looking for something that will work on shared hosts).

Is there a functioning REST API for steem?  

Help appreciated.  Trying to give back to the community but I'm hitting a roadblock here.  Without non-websocket API you can count out integration with most blogging platforms.  It's just not a natural fit for websockets.

Do not spam your intro.  That is not helpful productive behavior.

I haven't found a REST api myself, I speculate that's because `steamd` provides an XML-RPC api, and while not impossible to create some kind of bridge, it would be a sort of pain to port everything over to CRUD, and you would likely be a bit disappointed by the inconsistency.  That said, it's a great opportunity ;)
