I’m looking for a way to connect to ODK-X server from another custom app using REST apis and get access to the data. Is this possible?

Yes, the REST API can be called by any program. Sync-client is a java implementation of the REST protocol client. Suitcase actually uses sync-client. Other programs we write often use sync-client to make it easy to integrate the REST API.
