1536235 - Need API keys to update JavaScript Debugger docs from script

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: User management, task, P2)

Description

[Jim Blandy :jimb]

The MDN pages for the Debugger API are automatically generated from Markdown sources in the Firefox source tree. The source tree also includes some scripts to format and update the pages, given MDN API keys provided by the user.

These scripts have stopped working; a PUT or POST operation on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger-API fails with an HTTP 405 status (see reply below).

I suspect this might be because my API key is old. I tried to get a new one, but MDN told me I need to file a bug to do so.

Hey Jim, we weren't aware of API consumers and haven't prioritized fixing it. See bug 1256410.
How important is this to you?

Well, it's nice to be able to update the docs in-tree, and then run a script to update them all on MDN. It's a collection of about eight pages. But I can do it by hand in the mean time.
