hi.
I create a custom import and export, at the moment as an external script (via bootstrap), i plan to create a module in a more generic fashion lateron.
I am building a frontend for nagios and for our host management and nagios configuration btw. Maybe it might become useful for other environments (networkmanagement)
Now i need to know how to get list of all nodes of type x?
I want to avoid direct SQL.
A suggestion i got was to make an rss and parse it but i acess the drupal db a dozen times to extract various nodes, so it feels strange to do a web request for one thing
So what i am looking for as newbie drupal dev is just a pointer to basic search module api for this task
TIA florian
