Is there an API to access Chrome Sync data? [closed]

If I wanted to make an application (not a Chrome extension) that accesses, let's say, your Chrome-synced bookmarks, would I have to reverse-engineer the interface that Chrome/Chromium uses? Or is there a published API for that?

You can use the Syncable Service API:

EDIT 2020-03-27 The site mentions the information is outdated and suggests to go here instead: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/sync/model_api.md
