Creating projects through the API

I was wondering if it's possible to create projects and couple them to their source code repository with the API. We have a project hosting website mainly for extensions related to our CMS, eZ Publish, http://projects.ez.no, and like to integrate it a bit with ohloh.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kristof,

This is not currently possible, although this is the certainly direction we are headed with the API. I'd love it if all aspects of Ohloh's project data could be kept up-to-date through scripting.

We've recently been adding some incremental capabilities to the API to allow login and POSTing of some kinds of data, but we haven't gotten to the point yet where new projects can be added.

It might be a while before we get there, but if you have any thoughts on how you'd like to see this done I'd be interested.

Thanks,
Robin

Hello,

Was there progress on the openhub api w.r.t. creating new entitlements ? Searching into the documentation API (e.g. https://github.com/blackducksw/ohloh_api/blob/master/reference/enlistment.md ) I could not find mention of the POST/PUT methods (except in the cpp example)

I'd like to automate the creation of repos in openhub for the large following organizations which regularly create new repos that should be added to

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/
https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/
https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/

It would have been great to be able to set up a webhook from github (https://developer.github.com/webhooks/ on the repository event) so that every new repo gets mirrored onto openhub.

Thanks in advance,

Guillaume.
