Where to find Plugin Repository API description? #13

Closed mskonovalov closed 7 years ago

mskonovalov commented 7 years ago

I'd like to use methods are not provided by this plugin. How can I learn API? Also do you support access tokens instead of password auth?

zolotov commented 7 years ago

As far as I know, there is no public version of API docs yet and there is no access tokens support either.

mskonovalov commented 7 years ago

Thanks for reply. Maybe you can provide non-public docs? I just want to read info about plugin in json format. Unfortunately, I've tried different requests and jot only html responses.

@mskonovalov Sure. Now there is no JSON API for plugin information, but there is an XML API IntelliJ IDEA relies on, I've provided an answer in a community forums topic today: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000135184-Plugin-Repository-API

Plugin List and Plugin Information API: You can use XML API which is a part of our IntelliJ-PluginsRepository protocol: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list/?build=%PRODUCT_CODE%-%BUILD-NUMBER% (e.g. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list/?build=IU-171.3780.107 for the latest IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate) to get a list of all compatible plugins for a product, and also https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list?pluginId=%PLUGIN_XMLID% (e.g. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list?pluginId=IdeaVIM for IdeaVIM) to get information about the plugin.

Also do you support access tokens instead of password auth?

We're planning to introduce it soon, but now it's not possible.

Hi @mikhailvink, thank you for your reply. I've taken XML API and parsed downloads count. Thank you for your help.
