1492980 - dump database

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Boney]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0
Build ID: 20180830143136

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to get bug report description. But only summary is available through REST api


Actual results:

No description and comments/email/chat history is available


Expected results:

Include those fields in REST api or advanced bug search in bugzilla.

Or if anyone could provide dump without personal information, that would be great. This is purely for research purposes.
I am a master's student at University of Lethbridge, Canada. I am working with Dr. John Anvik whose current research interest is on bug report mining.

This task mixes several things?

If this a request for the Webservice of the Bugzilla software, then it is a duplicate of bug 994896.

If this is about getting some data from the instance on bugzilla.mozilla.org then it's a different topic and a different project; see also bug 1054795 comment 2 but bug 1482908 implies that this might be possible.

I came across this Bug 589481 (8 years old) and saw that there is an agreement to need to be signed. I was wondering whether the same agreement stands for today? 

If that is not the case, I would like to suggest to add fields:description and chat history to the bugzilla REST api so that it will beneficial to most of the researchers on bug databases..

Assuming you need data for bugzilla.mozilla.org for your research purposes…

If you just want to retrieve bug metadata, comments, history and attachments at once, use the legacy BzAPI for the meantime:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:BzAPI:Methods#Retrieve_bug_.28.2Fbug.2F.3Cid.3E_GET.29

Examples:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bzapi/bug/1269276?include_fields=_default,comments,history,attachments&exclude_fields=attachments.data

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bzapi/bug?product=DevTools&priority=P1&status=NEW&include_fields=_default,comments,history,attachments&exclude_fields=attachments.data

If that’s not enough, email [e-mail] to sign an NDA.

That is exactly what I am looking for. I guess I will look into signing a NDA approach as that would give me more descriptive data. Thanks for the help.
