Description Andrew Shark 2023-07-29 14:25:46 UTC

Sometimes I want to observe a bug from Android, for example, when receiving email and being not near PC.

But bugs.kde.org in not adaptive to mobile devices. So I am interested if there is a way to use bugzilla android clients.
I have seen BugDroid, BoogDroid, Bugzilla Keysystems.

I have seen documentation of bugzilla, saying it can do REST API https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.4/api/index.html
The version of bugs.kde.org is obfuscated, but I was able to see it in page sources, and it is 5.0.6 currently.
It is said that XML-RPC (which DrKonqi uses?) and JSON-RPC APIs are deprecated. But did this site enabled working with REST API? Is it possible to use some android client for bugzilla with this site?

To my knowledge, Bugzilla doesn't allow you to switch them off - so both the XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs are enabled on this instance.
You will likely need an API key which you can obtain on a self-service basis from https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=apikey

Providing the actual software client is out of scope for us, as Bugzilla is a commodity-off-the-shelf (COTS) software product.
