We're planning to make a new API that gives a simple JSON version of any HN URL. Would that count?

Sure, that would be great. Will there also be endpoints for voting/favoriting/commenting?

Good question. I'm not sure. Probably we'll produce a complete read API first and then consider a write one. Maybe with proper credentialing there would be some value in it, since people have written lots of scraping clients that do it anyway.
