You can use it with with '--all' and '--old' options to get a complete list of all opportunities (even those from not installed packages) and then parse it. However, I don't think it's a good approach as you want to get a complete, unfiltered list of all opportunities, not a filtered one (so forcing a filtering program to skip filtering and output provided data directly is just redundant). You can get the whole list of 'opportunities' in gzipped JSON format from UDD [2] and then parse and filter it according to your needs (you should ask Lucas Nussbaum if it's fine to use UDD to feed production version of whatcanidofordebian.org). You may also like to take a look at [3] - maybe you can find something that you can use in your project there? Regards, T.
