Debbugs' SOAP Interface Documentation

This documentation will likely always be slightly behind the extant documentation in the Debbugs::SOAP module. However, feel free to update it when they begin to differ.

Please help to keep this documentation up to date!

URL and Namespace

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/soap.cgi is the official SOAP interface for Debian's BTS.

http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/soap.cgi is the development version.

The namespace is Debbugs/SOAP

Available methods for bugs.debian.org

http://bugs.debian.org/debbugs-source/mainline/Debbugs/SOAP.pm

get_status(bugnumber [, bugnumber]*)
returns the status of the given bugs (see attributes list bellow)
get_bugs(key, value[, key, value]*)
returns bugs that match the conditions given by key-value pair. Possible keys: package, submitter, maint, src, severity, status, tag, owner, bugs.
get_usertag(email [, tag]*)
returns bugs tagged by the email. All of them, or only those tagged with the selected tags, if tags are explicitly given.
get_bug_log(bugnumber)
returns the whole bug log, divided in headers and bodies.
newest_bugs(amount)
returns a list of the newest bugs.

Bug attributes returned by get_status are :

originator

date

subject

msgid

package

tags

done

forwarded

Currently the same as the one in bugs.debian.org

Examples

Perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;
use SOAP::Lite;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite->uri('Debbugs/SOAP')->proxy('http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/soap.cgi');
print Dumper($soap->get_bugs(package=>'debbugs')->result());
print Dumper($soap->get_status(400000)->result());
print Dumper($soap->get_status(400000)->result());
# et al.

# get all the bugs tagged with a certain usertag for a package
use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;

my $c = new SOAP::Lite->uri('/Debbugs/SOAP')->proxy('http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/soap.cgi');
my $usertags = my $usertags = $c->get_usertag('debian-qa@lists.debian.org')->result();
my $bugs =  $c->get_bugs(usertags=>$usertags,tag=>'qa-ftbfs-20070708',package=>'tilp')->result();
print Dumper($bugs);

# get all bugs for a given usertag and then select the bug for a
# certain package. Same as above probably a bit faster at times.
# $inf will contain all information about the bug such as
# subject, tags, severity ...
use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;
my $c = new SOAP::Lite->uri('/Debbugs/SOAP')->proxy('http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/soap.cgi');
my $bugs = $c->get_usertag('debian-qa@lists.debian.org','qa-ftbfs-20070708')->result;
my $bug = $c->get_bugs('bugs', $bugs->{'qa-ftbfs-20070708'}, 'package', 'tilp')->result;


my $inf = $c->get_status($bug)->result;
print Dumper($inf);

The following example was provided by DavidMorenoGarza:

# [...] snip [...]

my $soap = SOAP::Lite->uri('Debbugs/SOAP')->proxy('http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/soap.cgi');

my $latest_bug = $soap->newest_bugs(1)->result();

print "Latest bug: $latest_bug->[0]\n";

if($cache > $latest_bug->[0]) {
  print "No news.\n";
  $_[KERNEL]->delay(soap_check => $delay);
  return;
}

my $rc_bugs = $soap->get_bugs(
  bugs => [$cache..$latest_bug->[0]],
  severity => [qw(serious grave critical)]
)->result();

foreach my $bug(sort @$rc_bugs) {
  my $text = "#$bug: ";
  my $info = $soap->get_status($bug)->result->{$bug};
  $text .= $info->{subject};
  $text .= " - package: $info->{package}";
  $text .= " - severity: $info->{severity}";
  $text .= " - tags: $info->{tags}" if $info->{tags};
  $text .= " - date: ".scalar(gmtime($info->{date}));
  $text .= " - submitter: $info->{originator}";
  $text .= " - http://bugs.debian.org/$bug";
  $irc->yield(notice => $channel, $text);
