Are there any plans to create a REST API that allows the filing of company accounts?

Yes there are, but there are no timescales available at this time.

Given that filing accounts by software only is to be phased-in over the next 2 to 3 years (see [Changes to accounts - Changes to UK company law](https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-to-accounts/)) are there now any timescales for the introduction of a REST API to file account?

Do you have a link for documentation of API Account Filing.
