It is being worked onhttps://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3129

The API is fairly easy to deduce from the cli using -vv:

$ ipa -vv user-show admin
ipa: INFO: trying https://gyre.example.com/ipa/json
ipa: INFO: Forwarding 'user_show' to json server
'https://gyre.example.com/ipa/json'
ipa: INFO: Request: {
    "id": 0,
    "method": "user_show",
    "params": [
        [
            "admin"
        ],
        {
            "all": false,
            "no_members": false,
            "raw": false,
            "rights": false,
            "version": "2.114"
        }
    ]
}
ipa: INFO: Response: {
    "error": null,
    "id": 0,
...
