867841 - API should not use keyword persona to represent addon_type theme

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: API, defect, P3)

Description

[Parul Mathur]

Marketplace API specifies that addons of are 2 types: "app" and "persona".
https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/search/?addon_type=app
https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/search/?addon_type=persona

The documentation also refers to this:
http://firefox-marketplace-api.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/search.html?highlight=persona

There is an initiative to move away from using the keyword "persona" and towards using the keyword "theme".
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2012/03/01/personas-are-joining-the-themes-family/
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2013/02/28/getpersonas-com-migration-update/

The Marketplace API should be changed and the documentation updated to go with this initiative.

Should be type=app and type=theme now.
