In my internal intranet I would like to make life easier for my users by creating a new interface for modeling and automating processes in a simpler way. Here's my question: using the processmaker API would I be able to create and edit all the modeling features like tasks, trigger, dynaforms entirely from my interface?
What are the limitations?

In my opinion, you can't implement the designer interface using the ProcessMaker REST API. The only way to do it is to create a .pmx file from the process design that you have and then import that .pmx file into ProcessMaker. This means that you will have to study the format of the .pmx file and figure out how to recreate it.

I would be able to recreate pmx using the endpoints of: https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.2/REST_API_Designer ?

You can create the basic elements (tasks, subprocesses and events) of a process using the REST API. The problem is that there are no REST endpoints to join together the elements on the process map. For example, we don't have an endpoint to add a connector between Task 1 to Task 2.
There are three ways to get around this problem:
1. Study the PM source code to figure out it connects elements in the process map and then create your own custom endpoints to do that.
2. Study the BPMN_* tables in the database to figure out how PM stores the connectors and then create custom endpoints to write that information directly to the database.
3. Study the format of the .pmx file so that you can create a .pmx file and then import it with REST.

Sorry that I can't help you more, but what you are asking for requires a lot of work. (By the way, I know that the ProcessMaker projects team has created their own custom REST endpoints to get around this problem for a client, so you can call them and ask about their prices to get their help.)

Do you have their contacts? Phone / Email?

You can call the phone for Sales ( +1-919-289-1377 ) or email sales.processmaker.com .
Gary Meyer in Professional Services lead the team that developed the REST endpoints, but you should contact Sales and explain what you need. You can send them a link to this forum thread or tell them to talk to Gary if the sales team needs more info.
