945894 - Please expose supersearch via the API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task, P1)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

I'd like to get supersearch results in machine-readable form. It seems that would mean exposing it via the API, but I'm also happy to get it by adding a parameter to something like https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?signature=~spvc32&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform so that it becomes https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?signature=~spvc32&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&output=json

If we go the API route, it would be good to have a guide somewhere explaining how to go from a manually-constructed supersearch to the equivalent API call.

I was planning to do add a link to the API URL on the Super Search page, so users could easily generate URLs to work on. We could also add a redirect, like if you add &output=json at the end of the URL, it redirects to the equivalent API call.
