Project Feed

This module will pull Backdrop CMS project data from Github into your local site.

Currently, it works in two steps:

1) You will fetch data from Github in 1 of 3 batches. The data is stored in a CSV file on the server. 2) You will import data from CSV file using feeds.

This module is a result of the discussion started here: https://github.com/backdrop-ops/backdropcms.org/issues/870

And this module is very much inspired by the sample conde snippet provided by @BWPanda in that thread.

This modules is still very much in development. We welcome feedback and suggestions and Pull Requests.

This module is somewhat a proof a concept and sandbox for possible features on BackdropCMS.org and/or another third party module info site.

Coming Soon (ideas)

• Pulling in additional data about Releases
• Pulling in additional download statistics

Requirements

The Github API has pretty strong limits to how many requests you can make per hour unless you are working with a personal access token.
