Yes, you may want to see the
REST api, see:

At present there is no standard APi that would let you (for example) use XPath to access data items in the TWiki database, However work is in progress on a plugin that we expect will provide that level of support.

If you're interested in seeing a (not entirely working)
REST implementation -
RestPlugin has a resitricted set of addressing to enable it to get and set formfields to provide Inline editing in Forms.

There's also work done by FLOSS manuals, i just saw a demo of their plugin that transfers topics to-and-from distinct TWiki servers. Dunno what is under the hood though,
AdamHyde will know!
