Using RSS Feeds Programmatically

Fetch with curl

# Fetch issues as XML
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield?text=deprecated&status=All" > audiofield-issues.xml

# Parse with grep for quick search
curl -s "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield?text=Drupal+11" | grep -o '<title>.*</title>' | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'

Fetch with WebFetch (Claude Code)

// Use WebFetch tool to analyze RSS feed
const url = "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield?text=Drupal+11&status=All";
const prompt = "List all issues related to Drupal 11 compatibility with their status";

Parse with xmllint

# Get issue titles and links
curl -s "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield?text=deprecated" | \
  xmllint --xpath "//item/title/text()" -

# Get issue descriptions
curl -s "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield" | \
  xmllint --xpath "//item/description/text()" -

RSS Feed Structure

RSS feeds contain:

item: Each issue

• title: Issue title
• link: Issue URL (drupal.org/node/NODEID)
• description: Issue description/summary
• pubDate: Publication date
• dc:creator: Issue creator
• guid: Unique identifier

Example XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>audiofield issues</title>
    <item>
      <title>Replace deprecated file_validate_extensions()</title>
      <link>https://www.drupal.org/node/3432063</link>
      <description>The function file_validate_extensions() is deprecated...</description>
      <pubDate>Wed, 15 Jun 2024 14:23:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <dc:creator>username</dc:creator>
      <guid>https://www.drupal.org/node/3432063</guid>
    </item>
  </channel>
</rss>

Common Search Patterns

Finding Patches for Your Version

# Search for issues on specific version
MODULE="audiofield"
VERSION="8.x-1.x"
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/${MODULE}?version=${VERSION}&status=Active"

Monitor Critical Issues

# Get critical bugs
MODULE="entity_limit"
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/${MODULE}?priorities=1&categories=1&status=Open"

Find Deprecated Function Issues

# Search for specific deprecated function
FUNCTION="user_roles"
MODULE="licensing"
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/${MODULE}?text=${FUNCTION}"

Automated Monitoring Script

#!/bin/bash
# monitor-module-issues.sh
# Check for new Drupal 11 issues

MODULES=("audiofield" "entity_limit" "licensing" "social_auth")
SEARCH="Drupal+11"

for MODULE in "${MODULES[@]}"; do
  echo "Checking $MODULE for Drupal 11 issues..."

  RSS_URL="https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/${MODULE}?text=${SEARCH}&status=Active"

  # Fetch and display issue titles
  curl -s "$RSS_URL" | \
    grep -o '<title>.*</title>' | \
    sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | \
    tail -n +2  # Skip channel title

  echo "---"
done

Tips for Effective RSS Usage

1. Bookmark specific searches: Save frequently used RSS URLs
2. Use RSS readers: Feedly, Inoreader for monitoring
3. Automate checks: Cron jobs to check for new issues
4. Filter by date: Add &created= parameter for recent issues
5. Combine with curl: Quick command-line checks

Limitations

• RSS feeds show limited results (typically 25-50 latest)
• No advanced filtering (e.g., AND/OR logic)
• Some metadata not included in RSS
• For comprehensive search, use web interface

Web Interface URLs

Standard URL:

https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/MODULE_NAME?text=&status=All&priorities=All&categories=All&version=All&component=All&page=1

Parameters match RSS but with pagination:

• page=0 - First page
• page=1 - Second page
• etc.

Quick Reference Commands

# Get all open issues
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/MODULE?status=Open"

# Get deprecated function issues
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/MODULE?text=deprecated"

# Get D11 compatibility
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/MODULE?text=Drupal+11"

# Get RTBC issues (ready for patches)
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/MODULE?status=Reviewed+%26+tested"

# Count issues
curl -s "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/MODULE" | grep -c "<item>"

Integration with Workflow

When searching for patches:

1. Start with RSS feed for quick overview
2. Use text search for specific deprecations
3. Filter by status to find RTBC patches
4. Visit web interface for detailed patch files
5. Download patches from individual issue nodes

Example workflow:

# 1. Find issues
curl "https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/rss/audiofield?text=file_validate_extensions" | \
  grep -o '<link>.*</link>' | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'

# Output: https://www.drupal.org/node/3432063

# 2. Visit issue page to find patches
# 3. Apply patch via composer (see drupal-patches-workflow.md)
