Hi!
In this post I'm going to share a Python package that aims to make it easy to use GitHub's GraphQL API in projects. No more fiddling around with queries and turning them into Python dictionaries! Interested? Read on!
What is it?
Recently, I've been developing a package for Python calledpygitapi. This package will utilise the GitHub GraphQL API to get data for the user.BitBucket and GitLab support are planned for future releases.
The main aim of the package is to make it easy to use the GraphQL API and get the info you need.
Installation
To install via pip, do the following:
pip install --upgrade pygitapiUsage
For full information on the functions, check out thedocumentation. However, here's a small sample of what you can do.
frompygitapiimportHubAPIimportjsonh=HubAPI('PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN')response=h.user_info('DillonB07')print(json.dumps(response,indent=4))print(f'Portfolio -{response["user"]["websiteUrl"]}')This returns the following:
