Bump

Unfortunately, it has been decided not to have an OCP API for Circles, so you need to call OC::$server->get(CirclesManager::class); yourself.

I will try to get time to work on some Documentation for the OCA API

Great! As long as there's docs, that's fine for me :) Thank you for following up ♥️

Given the follow-on discussion in nextcloud/documentation#10421 for the PR that was attempting to address this issue, it seemed the focus (and title) of this request should shift back to "Create an OCP API for Circles". So I'm re-revising the title, but leaving open. ;-)
