Feature request related to ibmi_fix_check

Open psyntium opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi,

This is more of a feature request to the IBMi team. Can't we ask them to just provide a proper API instead of scrapping the website slowly? It takes minutes to just get the full fix list and I don't understand why there's no API for this.

You may delete this if you think this is not the right channel.

I will mark this as an enhancement / feature request for future consideration.

Agree that having an API is preferred to "screen scraping" support web pages for ptf info. I am not aware of an API being provided for fix queries, but can check further on this.

Hi @robgjertsen1

I'm revisiting this request. If I were to create one, who should I contact to get this feature running? I mean, who can host this API?

I can create the test API running on IBM Cloud's Code Engine, for all to use for testing. Perhaps either running on node.js or python. But ultimately, it should run directly on ibm.com domain. You can slack me on this if needed.
