Yes, but as far as I understand, this API can not provide recent revisions information in real time. :( So it is not directly usable for the wpcvn rc patrol tool as it continuously requires recent edits data.
It looks like they've published the code though. I'll try to find some tome and integrate their ratings into the wpcvn. Their approach of fine-grained text origins sounds pretty solid. And their algorithm also had performed better than mine in the PAN 10 competition. By the way, if anybody from the Wikitrust team is present here - congrats! And I've just skimmed over your paper - excellent work.

Hi Dimitry:

Some time ago as a Python/Django/JQuery/pywikipedia exercise I've hacked a web based recent changes patrol tool. An alpha version can be seen at the: http://www.wpcvn.com
It includes a few interesting features that may be useful to the community (& researchers designing similar tools):
- tool uses editors ratings, primarily based on user counters (includes
reverted revisions counters) calculated using the wiki dump;
Perhaps have a look at the WikiTrust API: < http://www.wikitrust.net/vandalism-api%3E
WPCVN aggregates recent changes IRC feed, IRC feed from the MiszaBot and WPCVN user actions.
I'm currently prototyping an XMPP based RC feed, which has much more detailed info, and is more reliable, than the IRC feed: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Recentchanges_via_XMPP#Prototype
It also uses pre-calculated Wikipedia users "karma" (based on the recent en-wiki dump analysis) to separate edits made by users with clearly good or bad reputation.
No *this* definitly sounds like WikiTrust, though I'm not sure if they expose this info via the API.
