list of all extensions via the API

[Eric Hanson]

Greetings,

Is it possible to get a list of all extensions using the API?  I see facilities for search, and also recent extensions, but not seeing how to just get the list of them.

Thanks,

Eric

Not via a single call, no. But you can use the api.pgxn.org API’s userlist API to iterate over a-z to get a list of users for each:

https://github.com/pgxn/pgxn-api/wiki/userlist-api

Then for each user, call the user API to fetch the user info, including a list of all releases by the user.

https://github.com/pgxn/pgxn-api/wiki/user-api

If you want the extensions within each release, you would then need to call the meta API for each release.

https://github.com/pgxn/pgxn-api/wiki/meta-api

Where you’ll find the extensions under the “provides” key.

If you just want recent releases, you can just call the extension stats API:

https://github.com/pgxn/pgxn-api/wiki/stats-api
https://master.pgxn.org/stats/extension.json

Which will get you the 56 most recently-released extensions.

HTH,

David

Ok thanks that'll work.  Sure would be nice to be able to just browse the list and see what's available.  Maybe even a pgxn_fdw! :)
