Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to scrap reproducibility bugs data from the linked website to use in my research project that is being conducted at the University of Waterloo. I am a Master's student.

The project aims to provide automated support for non-reproducibility detection.

Please tell me if there is an API that I can use to scrap the data.

Muhammad,

[CCing Christopher Baines, who may skip straight to the last 
paragraph because they're probably busy building cool stuff.]

Good luck in your research.

Hm, are you sure that our bug tracker is at all useful here?  I 
doubt it!  There are a relative handful of ‘foo isn't 
reproducible’ bugs but they're the opposite of comprehensive or 
standardised.  There are no categories nor labels nor automated 
closings when an issue is fixed.

I think what you really want is this[0] (source: [1]).

Mouth-watering indeed!

One problem: the Package Reproducibility page is gone :-(  I'm 
surprised: it was still there a few months ago.  Christopher, is 
this deliberate?  If so, is there any way we could help bring it 
back?  Is the historical data safe and is new data still tracked?

Kind regards,

T G-R
