Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

All cases where we use the old BzAPI Proxy we should switch to the new native REST API.

Has the native REST API already shipped on bmo? I thought it wasn't deployed yet (but if it is, I'd be happy to know as I'd love to convert my own stuff to a more efficient API any time).

Yes! I was pointed to it recently for a different project, and it was mentioned today at the "mozilla dashcon" miniconf. e.g.:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug/543210

As a first step, we should just switch to the compat API, which only needs a URL change and nothing else: https://dlawrence.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/bzapi-compatibility-api-has-been-rolled-out-to-production-bmo/

For the longer run, the docs to what we should switch to are at http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#search

Thanks :kairo! I totally missed that. However, I think I'll just make the migration directly to the new API straight away. It shouldn't be that hard.
