But it has arbitrary restrictions like per_page Number of items to list per page (default: 20, max: 100) which means that to download the 3300 open bugs in the Emacs bug tracker you have to issue 33 of these, but whatevs. > (It does require authentication, though.) That's a shame. Accessing the read-only parts of the API shouldn't require any auth, because that means that you have to register yourself as a user on the web site before you can look at the bugs in the Emacs interface, which looks like a deal breaker to me. Or perhaps it's possible to register a read-only default account that non-registered Emacs users could use? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
