Generate a blocklist.xml file from Kinto collections

If you want to export blocklists stored in Kinto in the addons server XML export format, you can use the kinto2xml script:

kinto2xml -s http://localhost:8888/v1

kinto2xml gives you the ability to configure what you want to export and in which bucket and collection are the data stored.

usage: kinto2xml [-h] [-s SERVER] [-a AUTH] [-v] [-q] [-D]
                 [--certificates-bucket CERTIFICATES_BUCKET]
                 [--certificates-collection CERTIFICATES_COLLECTION]
                 [--gfx-bucket GFX_BUCKET] [--gfx-collection GFX_COLLECTION]

Generate blocked addons and plugins description pages

You might want to export the human readable list and description of add-ons and plugins that were blocked.

You can do that using the blockpages-generator cli tool:

usage: blockpages-generator [-h] [-s SERVER] [-a AUTH] [-b BUCKET] [-v] [-q]
                            [-D] [--addons-collection ADDONS_COLLECTION]
                            [--plugins-collection PLUGINS_COLLECTION]
                            [-d TARGET_DIR]

Generate blocked item description files.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SERVER, --server SERVER
                        The location of the remote server (with prefix)
  -a AUTH, --auth AUTH  BasicAuth token:my-secret
  -b BUCKET, --bucket BUCKET
                        Bucket name.
  -v, --verbose         Show all messages.
  -q, --quiet           Show only critical errors.
  -D, --debug           Show all messages, including debug messages.
  --addons-collection ADDONS_COLLECTION
                        Collection name for addon
  --plugins-collection PLUGINS_COLLECTION
                        Collection name for plugin
  -d TARGET_DIR, --target-dir TARGET_DIR
                        Destination directory to write files in.

It will generate an index.html file with the list of records present in the addons and plugins collections in the target-dir directory.

It will also generate a file per add-on and plugin using the blockID or the id. e.g i487.html or 08db5018-2c80-4c4d-aa98-dafe6aacc28c.html
