#10674 Package version via REST API
Closed: Upstream by kevin. Opened by yellowhat.

Closed: Upstream
Reopen Issue

Hi,
I would to query the available versions (ideally just the latest) for
a specific package and fedora release via a REST API call (not dnf).

I can partly solve my question by using https://mdapi.fedoraproject.org.

Unfortunately, I have noticed that it is pulling also from the *-testing
repositories:

curl --silent "https://mdapi.fedoraproject.org/f35/pkg/vim-enhanced"
... "vim-minimal"], "repo": "updates-testing"}

Is there a way to restrict it only to the "official" one?

Thanks

It looks like mdapi doesn't have this ability. You could file a RFE on it at https://pagure.io/mdapi/

I do see that you can get this information sort of via:

https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/api/v1/package_versions/vim

that returns a json with 'stable' and 'updates' you could parse out with jq?

Not sure what else we can do for you here... but if you think of something, feel free to reopen or file a new ticket.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately I am getting a bit of inconsistent results:

Works!!!

Is this the intended behaviour?

Metadata Update from @yellowhat:
- Issue status updated to: Open (was: Closed)

This is not intended, but container updates composes have been failing recently (due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2077680 )

As soon as those start flowing everything should be back to normal... (and f36/f37 containers are working so should already have the updated version)
