For factory packages you can retrieve a summary with osc api /status/project/openSUSE:Factory

Is the /status URL documented somewhere? I can't find it at https://api.opensuse.org/apidocs/

I'd like to retrieve version number for a single package.

Then better use osc api '/source/openSUSE:Factory/perl?view=info&parse=1'

Michael implemented this last week.

Through /public/source/<project>/<package>?view=info&parse=1 it is publically accessible.

This is pure luck due to a miss configuration in lighttpd setup.

(small note, it is not the lighttpd setup, but the public controller)

...

Please never ever use /public, it is just for remote OBS instances and may change at any time.

It is not part of official api.

That's unfortunate, is there any reason why this cannot be made publically accessible?

Yes, the api is for developers in first place. We do not want to have random load (and some requests can create a lot load) on our server without control about it. So we may abadone /public and ask our remote instances to use at login at some point of time.

The information can already be obtained as described in my intial mail, although that is quite a kludge and inefficient as it requires several instead of a single request.

Just create a user and use /source directly. If that user creates too much load we can block it and talk back to you in that situation for a solution. Otherwise we do need to block entire IPs or access to /public in general. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
