NAME
WWW::SourceForge - Interfaces to the SourceForge data API
SYNOPSIS
The WWW::SourceForge family of modules are intended to implement the API
documented at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/API/
While this isn't an "official" SourceForge project, I am a SourceForge
employee, and maintain these as part of my job. I also use these modules
as part of my daily tasks, and so I have an interest in making them work
well.
These are part of a larger package of tools
(https:/sourceforge.net/projects/sfprojecttools/) including
greasemonkey scripts, and hopefully some day other implementations of
the API (PHP and Python would be a winner).
USAGE
WWW::SourceForge::User
Usage:
my $user = new WWW::SourceForge::User( id => 1234 );
my $user2 = new WWW::SourceForge::User( username => 'rbowen' );
my @projects = $user->projects(); # WWW::SourceForge::Project objects
WWW::SourceForge::Project
Usage:
my $proj = new WWW::SourceForge::Project( id => 1234 );
my $proj2 = new WWW::SourceForge::Project( name => 'flightics' );
my @admins = $proj->admins(); # WWW::SourceForge::User objects
my @developers = $proj->developers(); # Ditto
# WARNING: This method is probably going to change in the future to
# return more detailed download data. Check docs frequently.
my $download_count = $proj->downloads(
start_date => '2012-07-01',
end_date => '2012-07-25'
);

HISTORY
A WWW::SourceForge module was originally developed by Kang-min Liu
(
[email protected]), which utilized WWW::Mechanize to retrieve project
information from SourceForge project pages. With the many changes to the
SourceForge website, that module gradually fell out of usefulness. With
the new(ish) SourceForge data API, we have a means of accessing this
data without having to parse HTML. But many thanks to Kang-min Liu for
his early effort, and for his cooperation with me.
