How do I list all members in a Launchpad team?

  • 772

How can I produce a text file list of all members in Launchpad team?

For example, this page only shows the list of users in batches of 75: http://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members

I would like to get the whole list in one text dump.

launchpad launchpad-api

    As explained by @Rinzwind, you'll need to make multiple queries to take into account the pagination or use python and launchpadlib to handle the pagination for you:

    >>> team = launchpad.people['launchpad-beta-testers']
>>> len(team.members)
2238

    • Altering the URL

    Besides mailing someone to get a list of members I doubt it will be possible to get this list in 1 go. The URL has a parameter in it to expand the amount of names but the maximum amount of members you can get on 1 page is 300.

    https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members?active_batch=300

    That would make it 8 pages you need to copy/paste. This would be the quickest 1 time usable solution.

    • alternate solution...

    If you can code you could make a script for this. Maybe someone can expand on this:

    • wget https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members?active_batch=300 --no-check-certificate will get the 1st 300.
    • wget https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members?active_batch=300&active_memo=300&active_start=300 --no-check-certificate will get the 2nd 300.
    • wget https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members?active_batch=300&active_memo=600&active_start=600 --no-check-certificate will get the 3rd 300.

    With a combination of grep, sed, awk, regexes and maybe some other tools it should be possible to get the names from commandline.

    I download these 3 to 3 text files and the command...

    grep class=\"sprite\ person\" * |more

    gets me all the lines that have a name in it (with a bit of overhead) for this file.

    You can use https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib for this if you want to code a program for it.
