octokitpy

======== Overview

Python client for GitHub API

Installation

Note octokit and octokit.py were already taken in the cheese shop

::

pip install octokitpy

Documentation

https://octokitpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Examples

REST API::

from octokit import Octokit
repos = Octokit().repos.list_for_user(username="octokit")
for repo in repos.json:
    print(repo["name"])
# Make an unauthenticated request for octokit's public repositories

Webhooks::

from octokit import webhook
webhook.verify(headers, payload, secret, events=['push'])

:code:octokit.py provides a function to verify webhooks <https://developer.github.com/webhooks/>_ sent to your application.

headers
    dictionary of request headers

payload
    string; payload of request

secret
    string; secret provided to GitHub to sign webhook

events
    list; events that you want to receive

verify_user_agent
    boolean; whether or not you want to verify the user agent string of the request

return_app_id
    boolean; whether or not you want to return the app id from the ping event for GitHub applications. This will only return the ``id`` if the event is the ``ping`` event. Otherwise the return value will be boolean.

Note that webhook names are available at :code:from octokit_routes import webhook_names

Authentication

Instantiate a client with the authentication scheme and credentials that you want to use.

basic::

octokit = Octokit(auth='basic', username='myuser', password='mypassword')

token::

response = Octokit(auth='token', token='yak').authorization.get(id=100)

app::

octokit = Octokit(auth='app', app_id='42', private_key=private_key)

app installation::

octokit = Octokit(auth='installation', app_id='42', private_key=private_key)

For applications, provide the application id either from the ping webhook or the application's page on GitHub. The :code:private_key is a string of your private key provided for the application. The :code:app scheme will use the application id and private key to get a token for the first installation id of the application.

API Schema/Routes/Specifications

One can instantiate the Octokit with routes=specification where the specification is one of api.github.com, ghe-2.15, etc.

Data

The :code:octokit client based on the available route data <https://github.com/khornberg/octokitpy-routes>_ and webhook data <https://github.com/khornberg/octokitpy-routes>_
