fetching a user's IETF documents from the datatracker
This project contains two tools for fetching and formatting metadata for IETF documents (RFCs and Internet Drafts).
- tracker-doc: for fetching document metadata by user-id (datatracker ID)
- bibdoc: for formatting document metadata in text or bibtex format
These are two Clojure scripts that are executed by Babashka – a native Clojure interpreter for scripting. Please see below for installation instructions.
Fetching document metadata by user-id (datatracker ID) from the IETF datatracker.
Usage: tracker-docs <options> user-id
Options
--rfcs get RFCs
--active-ids get active Internet Drafts
--expired-ids get expired Internet Drafts
--all-ids get all Internet Drafts
--all get all RFCs and Internet Drafts (default)
Example:
./tracker-doc --rfcs dirk.kutscher@neclab.eu

- bootleg pod for Babashka (for HTML parsing with Hickory, will be installed automatically when running the scripts)
- better error handling
- documentation
- I used ChatGPT-4 to get up to speed with Babashka.
