Yes. https://pmbs.links2linux.de/apidocs/index > Do you allow usage of the API from scripts? I do not know that. The question is probably "how much load does this bear on the server". OTOH, I can search packages on PMBS with osc, I guess your tool is more or less technically doing the same than the osc commandline tool, so if it is not continually scanning PMBS, then no harm should be done :-) > How to get a username and password to access the API? > Thanks! Stefan Botter is the "owner" of PMBS. Usually people just create an account directly on https://pmbs.links2linux.de/user/register_user, write a short email with the chosen username to this list and Stefan will enable it. Extra bonus: this will also allow you to directly contribute to packman packaging! :-) Best regards and thanks for your efforts, improving package search is certainly somehting that openSUSE will benefit from. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
