Comments.Text: Could you please clarify your question?  When you say "recreate a contribution form", do you mean programmatically generate contribution forms in CiviCRM?  Or create a contribution form that exists independently of CiviCRM?

Comments.Text: Yes I would like to programmatically generate a contribution form.  The admin would still go in and add/edit the contribution form and details within CiviCRM.  But I'd then like to display that form on a custom php script (outside of Wordpress or Joomla).

  I'm pretty new with CiviCRM but not with integrating API's in general.
  I'm looking to re-create a contribution form using only the REST API.
  
  Is this even possible?

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thanks.
