So a real simple way to add a page called 'test_page' is:
http://YOURWEBSITE/jsapi.js?key=YOURKEY&type=createAsset&id=PARENTID&type_code=page&asset_name=test_page

Yeah, this is possible. Although the elegant solution is to just run the functions that are provided as they provide error checking and submit through ajax.
Also, the method might be changed to POST in the future to prevent GET requests in the way you have shown.
Oops, thought we were still talking about the Web Services APIs (as in the original post), which do use a similar format to the import script :ph34r:

You can either use a SOAP client from any languages to connect or simply call it with javascript while you are on the frontend of the system (it only support a single domain now). If you want more details, let me know =)

The Javascript API asset is part of the Web Services Package, but it is GPL. 
Yeah, i know the API asset you contributed is GPL =), but the Web Services package - SSV version, consisted of a SOAP Server, SOAP APIs, and a Javascript API on top of the SOAP APIs as well.
Hey this is great.
I've actually built my own API to do most of this stuff lately (which I used to build a custom editing interface) but its great to see something like that make it into the mainstream release. Definitely something that will be very useful.
Is there any documentation about these methods and some examples?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to correct you. I knew that you know, since you work at Squiz. I just wanted to clear that up for everyone else.
The documentation for the web services package should be available soon. I will try to find an example and post it up some times this week.

Keep watching for the launch of the MySource Matrix Community where I will write up a nice tutorial that will feature each and every function of the JS API.

Another thing that I know you were interested in in the past, and is now in the JS API is a getLinkId() function. You can pass in the id or URL of a parent and child and it will return the link id between those two.
