There's no API. The bot is hosted by a nix-community server. I donate to them to help pay for it.

have you already thought about the problem of how to make it easy for maintainers to get notified of build issues with their packages?

what comes to mind is a thing where i can request the bot to send a message to the contact i have in maintainer-list.nix, proving that i control it; and then, notify me when a package i maintain breaks (via the same channel, so email/matrix).

does this seem useful and doable in the current codebase? i know zero haskell lol
