Description

for blender we mirror the activity feed on our chat platform as an easy way for devs to keep up with activity on the gitea instance, we had this since the phabricator days. When we switched to gitea there was no api end point for this and we just scraped the html from https://projects.blender.org/org/blender/dashboard and were on our way. This had some drawbacks as the html format sometimes changed and it required a logged in user to get to that page, so we stole some cookies from a browser session and were once more on our way but... cookies expire... so at random intervals we had to steal new cookies.. all in all, not ideal.

in recent versions of gitea https://projects.blender.org/api/v1/orgs/blender/activities/feeds became available, which somehow doesn't require a logged in user but hey, not complaining there, what i am complaining about is a lack of detail, here's a random example, but virtually all events in the json feed miss "something"

for the following event on the html page

there's this information in the api end point

while there is an incredible amount of detail available about the user performing the action, there's other rather basic information that is seemingly completely absent, like what issue/pull is this about? what is its id? what's the title? who made it? when?

the issue ID can only be extracted from the issue_url or/and html_url fields, the title is completely lost.

the content field is generally filled with some arbitrary data, sometimes you get lucky and you get the ID + title of a pull/issue in there, other times it's just the ID, sometimes it's the ID + last comment, and sometimes (the commit_repo op_type) there's another json object string encoded into it... the field is just full of surprises, you never know what you're gonna find in it. which while exciting, not ideal.

all in all, it's currently impossible to retire our html scraper and switch to the gitea api end point for this information.
