datatracker-publications

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).

1. tracker-doc: for fetching document metadata by user-id (datatracker ID)
2. 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.

Usage

tracker-doc

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 [email protected] 
rfc3259 rfc6920 rfc6920 rfc7069 rfc7778 rfc7927 rfc7927 rfc8763

Example:

./tracker-doc --active-ids [email protected] 
draft-irtf-t2trg-iot-edge draft-li-icnrg-damc draft-oran-icnrg-reflexive-forwarding draft-irtf-coinrg-dir draft-fmbk-icnrg-metaverse

bibdoc

Formatting document metadata in text or bibtex format.

Usage: bibdoc <options> <docnames>

Options
--stdin       read document names from stdin instead of from argument list
--bibtex      generate bibtex instead of text bibliographic entries

./bibdoc rfc3259 draft-irtf-icnrg-pathsteering
