What exactly do you need/want for the API? Same thing as
net.connman.iwd.Station.Scan() where you issue Scan() then
GetOrderedNetworks() for the results?

Also one thing that may interest you is DPP. This is significantly less
overhead/hassle than having the device change to AP mode, scan, return
results, go back to station, then connect. You would need some way of
bootstrapping, and compatibility may be an issue e.g. Apple devices,
just a thought.

Thanks,
James
