I managed to talk to some people about FC Server at NAB, and they said
that there will be a WWDC session about it. WWDC happens from June 9th
- 13th. Sessions info is available here:
<http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/sessions/#tab=mac&session=1139>
I don't see a session specific to FC Server, but that's what
developers at NAB were told, so I expect there to be one. Its details
may not be public yet, though.
I would think that after WWDC, any information will eventually become
public, too, though not necessarily immediately.

Does anyone at Apple have timescales on when API/scripting access to
the Final Cut Server will be published. Or even just a rough guide
to what is planned to be scriptable once the relevant documentation
has been released.
Thanks,

Darrin, Helena:
Thanks for passing along the queries. We're definitely interested
in evaluating FCS to see if it will solve the problems we are
running into for workflow and archival of massive quantities of
media.
One of our workflow requirements for the solution we're developing
is external access to the content stored within the video
repository - web driven of course with a rich interactive layer on
top (Adobe AiR/Flex).
If the capabilities of FCS include some robust scripting control,
then it becomes a very attractive solution for a much wider
audience. Since there isn't an evaluation version yet or any other
details, spending 1-2k just to evaluate it's utility is a tough
proposition.
Again, thanks for the ultra-rapid response! No apologies necessary!
It's a technical question that I can imagine may be tough to answer
with all that's going on - especially as fresh on the market as
this software is.

I second Simon's request.
I got on the phone with pro support yesterday for a bit to ask a
very similar question but didn't get anything specific. I don't
even think Apple knows. :)
1. What scripting options are available for Final Cut Server?
AppleScript is not scripting option for web-based systems -
that's an OS level thing that has nothing to do with running a
web site on top of the FCS system. I read briefly that Ruby might
be a language (maybe Python), which is getting somewhere.
There are no details on the scripting capabilities of Final Cut
Server anywhere in the documentation - administration or setup.
2. Is there an API layer (web services, etc.) that can be
accessed? What type of API, if there is one?
So, does /anyone/ at Apple even know what the capabilities are in
this arena? Seems to be a pretty straightforward question with a
straightforward answer. The press releases and documentation seem
to allude to full scripting capabilities, but nowhere is it
detailed to any extent.
Of course /someone/ at Apple has an answer. But as you can imagine
with just finishing a release they've been a little busy. Being a
new product, I'm guessing they don't have anyone on this list yet
to answer questions. I've forwarded your request to my manager and
am attempting to find someone who can not only answer your
question, but hopefully spend some time answering questions on
this list each week. It may take a day or two before I find the
right person. (Also, several of us will be at NAB next week, so it
may take slightly longer than normal to get a response.) I
apologize for the delay.
Thanks,
Darrin
