I couldn't find methods to do following functions.

  1. login customer

  2. Get all products under a category

  3. add shipping address

  4. add products to cart

  5. etc

Yes, definitely, it is possible. We need to build our own API if there is the complex requirement.

1) Login customer

2) Get all products under a category

3) Add shipping address

4) Add products to cart

Resources:

Tools for testing purpose:

  • Postman
  • Git Bash on windows with curl command.
  • If we use PHPStorm: Tools > Test RESTful Web Service.

The Magento 2 API is very extensible, so while these methods may not exist currently, you can write your own module that adds the methods to the API. So, yes, it is very possible to develop an app like the one you are describing, but it may require extending the Magento API.

I have written an article in which I am describing the basics of Magento 2 REST API along with performing some functions. You can look into the below blog post and test it by your own. It is precise and easy to understand. The relevant code is also attached to the blog post for complete understandings. Please have a look:
