There is. See here. IDK how good the API documentation is (haven't checked), but it should be linked in that page.

This is the wrong community for this question, it's an open-ended discussion forum like AskReddit... not a support forum for Lemmy.

That said, check out the v18 API before you start writing a bot. It's going to change in a big way shortly.

Absolutely!

There's a JS client, or you can generate one from the OpenAPI spec I put together: https://github.com/Stumblinbear/lemmy-openapi

There's got to be for apps like Jerboa to work.
