| prof_milki | Is there a global list of newest project releases on launchpad? | 20:53 |
| wgrant | prof_milki: There is not. | 21:22 |
| prof_milki | That's either a pity :/ or good enough of a reason to investigate the API further.. | 21:24 |
| prof_milki | I've seen there's a `release_notes` field for project_release; just not sure if any projects are actually utilizing them. | 21:24 |
| wgrant | What are you trying to do? | 21:26 |
| prof_milki | Trying to utilize launchpad as another source for http://freshcode.club/ - either just a RSS feed of new release obviously, or even yet as auotupdate module (automatic changelog fetching, have something working for github-hosted projects and sourceforge already; but launchpad would be just as useful). | 21:27 |
| wgrant | Hm, I might be able to add an API for that. | 21:34 |
| wgrant | There's no way to get that information today. | 21:35 |
| prof_milki | Don't worry. I haven't really looked through everything yet; but the API looks nice enough (it's just OAuth which makes me relunctant); I guess I could probably start with a tiny polling process to find a few samples for https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html#project_release | 21:39 |
| wgrant | The API can be used anonymously without OAuth. | 21:39 |
| wgrant | Just make sure your User-Agent is descriptive so we can work out who to contact if necessary. | 21:40 |
| wgrant | But currently you'd have to poll all projects to find their recent releases, which is impractical. | 21:40 |
| prof_milki | Tried a few API points (/person) using plain Opera/x.y; but only got empty sets. But if it works without OAuth, I'll give it a whirl. | 21:41 |
| wgrant | Do you just use GitHub's /events and filter that manually? | 21:42 |
| prof_milki | Sort of. I'm actually fetching blobs via GitHubArchive (line-delimited events indeed). | 21:42 |
| wgrant | /people is special and won't give you the full collection. | 21:42 |
| prof_milki | I've previously polled GitHubs directly, which also worked, but uneccessary if there's already GHA. | 21:42 |
| wgrant | https://launchpad.net/api/devel/projects works, though. | 21:43 |
| prof_milki | Ah cool. Thanks! | 21:45 |
| prof_milki | So there's an easy way to assemble a list then. | 21:45 |
| prof_milki | Long-term I'm just going to poll freshcode-listed projects though - there's quite a few already with PPA + Launchpad links already; so I'll get targeted updates for them specifically. | 21:46 |
| wgrant | Ah, if you're just polling selected projects, then sure. | 21:46 |
| wgrant | If you were polling tens of thousands a day I'd spend the time to add an API to get a global collection of releases ordered by date. | 21:47 |
| prof_milki | Do you have a quota or something? | 21:47 |
| wgrant | No. | 21:47 |
| wgrant | We just block people if they're being disruptive, which happens occasionally. | 21:47 |
| prof_milki | I'd want to give a global list a try anyway, see if it's within acceptable limits. As a project-updates feed would be nice to have anyway. | 21:47 |
| prof_milki | It turned out to be quite minor traffic with GHA and GitHub anyway, and I'm pretty sure a slow polling script with the same caching might be workable. | 21:48 |
