Support tickets list (RSS & API)

Description

Today it is not possible to show a list of the last N tickets from a plugin (at least not to my knowledge).

Suggest to implement:
RSS feed:

  • Topic (Posts, last activity)
  • Original ticket text/last reply

API:
Possibility to get all support tickets and replies.

Why:
Many plugin developers have their own site with documentation and other information. Some have their own ticketing system, but a lot is using the wordpress.org support forum.
It should be possible to display a list of tickets like the one shown on the plugins support tab.

With a API interface, it would be possible to import tickets, for local search on own site.

Today the RSS feed provided on the bottom of the support tab (ex: https://wordpress.org/support/rss/plugin/frontier-post), only shows single comments - Without reference to the ticket not really useful.

There are plugins that displays info from the plugin directory, but the support tickets are missing - example of plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-info-card/

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from reopened to closed

Going to mark this as wontfix, this is much more a request to make the forums behave more like a ticketing system, which they are not.

It's worth noting though, that there's an Active feed view which may help you a little bit, for example at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/frontier-post/active (and you can append /feed to that to get an RSS feed for it as well).

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
