The IETF Datatracker is a Django-based web application serving as the day-to-day front-end to the IETF database, tracking documents, working groups, meetings, agendas, minutes, and presentations related to IETF standards. It powers datatracker.ietf.org and is developed as an open-source project under the BSD-3-Clause license.

Use cases

• search IETF RFCs and Internet-Drafts
• track IETF working groups and their documents
• look up IETF meeting agendas, minutes, and slides
• follow the status of Internet standards through the standards track
• find author and area director information for IETF documents
• run a local IETF datatracker instance for development

When to choose

• you need authoritative data about IETF documents, groups, or meetings
• you want to contribute to or self-host the IETF's document tracking system
• you're building tooling on top of IETF document and meeting data

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose document management system
• you want a lightweight API client for IETF data rather than the full application
• you have no involvement with IETF standards work
