Hi,

is it possible to write APIs in adapters so that we can manage few functionalities? Is it possible to access them via the gateway URL like `gateway.mozilla-iot.org/addons/custom_adapter/someAPI` ?

I was curious about this feature. It would open up lots of possibilities.  
Thanks,  
Abhijit

Currently, no. This is a feature a lot of people have requested, so we’re taking a look. The tricky part is proxying HTTP connections across an IPC bridge to an add-on.
