[QGIS-Developer] plugins.qgis.org API: Get all available versions of a plugin?

[F. Shah]

@Sebastian

I had a look into django app and found that its possible to get the information of all the plugins.
The xml_plugin function in orginal django app takes 3 parameters as below,



def xml_plugins(request, qg_version=None, stable_only=None, package_name=None):


Looking at this, I thought to try passing a package_name and this seems to work.

I guess that's what you are looking for. Try this for qgist workbench plugin

https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?package_name=workbench&qgis=3.10



Hope this helps,



regards,

FS

@FS,

thanks for your reply.

I already expected that I had to parse the HTML ...

@all,

How hard is it to patch this feature into the current infrastructure? Is
it more a coding issue or a server resource issue (i.e. handling such
requests)? Reading `/qgis-app/plugins/urls.py` and
`/qgis-app/plugins/views.py` (from QGIS-Django), it appears that "all"
that would be required is a new view of `PluginsList`. Disclaimer: I
have very little experience with Django and your infrastructure.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I fear it is not possible with the current infrastructure. As per the
documentation in QGIS-Django this plugin.xml API only accept two
parameters i.e. qgis: qgis_Version and stable_only: 0/1, default to 0.
