| 5 | + |
| 6 | +[`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi) provides 100% |
| 7 | +always-updated coverage of the entire [GitHub |
| 8 | +API](https://docs.github.com/rest). Because we automatically convert the |
| 9 | +[OpenAPI |
| 10 | +spec](https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/openapi-description) to a |
| 11 | +Pythonic API, [`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi) is always |
| 12 | +up to date with the latest changes to GitHub APIs. Furthermore, because |
| 13 | +this is all done dynamically, the entire package is only 35kB in size! |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Using [`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi), you can automate |
| 16 | +nearly anything that you can do through the GitHub web interface or |
| 17 | +through the `git` client, such as: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- Open, list, comment on, or modify |
| 20 | + [issues](https://guides.github.com/features/issues/) or [pull |
| 21 | + requests](https://docs.github.com/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests) |
| 22 | +- Create, list, or modify [git |
| 23 | + tags](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) or [GitHub |
| 24 | + releases](https://docs.github.com/github/administering-a-repository/managing-releases-in-a-repository), |
| 25 | + including uploading release assets |
| 26 | +- Configure and run GitHub |
| 27 | + [Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) and |
| 28 | + [webhooks](https://docs.github.com/developers/webhooks-and-events/about-webhooks) |
| 29 | +- Set up GitHub [users](https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/users) |
| 30 | + and |
| 31 | + [organizations](https://docs.github.com/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/about-organizations) |
| 32 | +- Manage your |
| 33 | + [deployments](https://docs.github.com/rest/guides/delivering-deployments) |
| 34 | +- …and much, much more. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +There are two ways to use |
| 37 | +[`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi): either through Python, |
| 38 | +or from the command line. An overview of each is provided below. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Installation |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +To install, run either `pip install ghapi` or |
| 43 | +`conda install -c fastai ghapi`. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## How to use - Python |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Throughout this documentation, you will see code inputs and outputs |
| 48 | +shown in this format: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +``` python |
| 51 | +1+1 |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + 2 |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +We recommend reading the documentation on the [official |
| 57 | +site](https://ghapi.fast.ai/), rather than on GitHub, since not all the |
| 58 | +functionality described on this page is available through the GitHub |
| 59 | +viewer. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +All of the documentation is available directly as Jupyter Notebooks, for |
| 62 | +instance the current page you’re reading is available as a notebook |
| 63 | +[here](https://github.com/fastai/ghapi/blob/master/index.ipynb). To open |
| 64 | +any page as an interactive notebook in Google Colab, click the *Colab* |
| 65 | +badge at the top of the page. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +To access the GitHub API, first create a |
| 68 | +[`GhApi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/core.html#ghapi) object: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +``` python |
| 71 | +from ghapi.all import GhApi |
| 72 | +api = GhApi() |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Every part of the API includes documentation directly in the `api` |
| 76 | +object itself. For instance, here’s how to explore the groups of |
| 77 | +functionality provided by the API by displaying the object: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +``` python |
| 80 | +api |

| 113 | + |
| 114 | +Then we can explore the endpoints provided by the API in each group, |
| 115 | +e.g. for the `git` group: |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +``` python |
| 118 | +api.git |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |

| 146 | +- [git.get_tree](https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/git#get-a-tree)(owner, |
| 147 | + repo, tree_sha, recursive): *Get a tree* |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +Here’s how to learn about an endpoint you want to use, e.g.: |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +``` python |
| 152 | +api.git.get_ref |
| 153 | +``` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +[git.get_ref](https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/git#get-a-reference)(owner, |
| 156 | +repo, ref): *Get a reference* |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +In Jupyter Notebook full tab completion, parameter lists, etc are |
| 159 | +provided for all endpoints. Endpoints are called as standard Python |
| 160 | +methods: |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +``` python |
| 163 | +api.git.get_ref(owner='fastai', repo='fastcore', ref='heads/master') |
| 164 | +``` |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +- ref: refs/heads/master |
| 167 | +- node_id: MDM6UmVmMjI1NDYwNTk5OnJlZnMvaGVhZHMvbWFzdGVy |
| 168 | +- url: |
| 169 | + https://api.github.com/repos/fastai/fastcore/git/refs/heads/master |
| 170 | +- object: |
| 171 | + - sha: 0e3084ed009baa51db38a640ae7c23d638af2756 |
| 172 | + - type: commit |
| 173 | + - url: |
| 174 | + https://api.github.com/repos/fastai/fastcore/git/commits/0e3084ed009baa51db38a640ae7c23d638af2756 |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +To use [`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi) to access |
| 177 | +authenticated operations (other than when running through GitHub |
| 178 | +Actions), you will need a GitHub [personal access |
| 179 | +token](https://docs.github.com/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token), |
| 180 | +which is a secret code used to access your account. If you don’t have |
| 181 | +one, [click here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) to create one. |
| 182 | +You’ll be asked to enter a name – choose anything you like, for instance |
| 183 | +“*ghapi*”. You’ll also be asked to choose “scopes”; this limits what |
| 184 | +you’ll be able to do with the API using this token. If you’re not sure, |
| 185 | +click “*repo*” “*gist*”, “*notifications*”, and “*workflow*”. Then click |
| 186 | +“Generate Token” at the bottom of the screen, and copy the token (the |
| 187 | +long string of letters and numbers shown). You can easily do that by |
| 188 | +clicking the little clipboard icon next to the token. |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +Rather than pasting that token into every script, it’s easiest to save |
| 191 | +it as an environment variable. If you save it as `$GITHUB_TOKEN` then it |
| 192 | +will be most convenient, so add this to the end of your `.bashrc` or |
| 193 | +`.zshrc` file: |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | + export GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +…replacing the `xxx` with the token you just copied. (Don’t forget to |
| 198 | +`source` that file after you change it.), pass a \[GitHub token\]. |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +As well as your `token`, you can also pass any parameters you want |
| 201 | +auto-inserted into relevant methods, such as `owner` and `repo`: |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +``` python |
| 204 | +api = GhApi(owner='fastai', repo='fastcore', token=github_token) |
| 205 | +``` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +We can now repeat the previous method, but only need to pass `ref`: |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +``` python |
| 210 | +api.git.get_ref('heads/master') |
| 211 | +``` |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +- ref: refs/heads/master |
| 214 | +- node_id: MDM6UmVmMjI1NDYwNTk5OnJlZnMvaGVhZHMvbWFzdGVy |
| 215 | +- url: |
| 216 | + https://api.github.com/repos/fastai/fastcore/git/refs/heads/master |
| 217 | +- object: |
| 218 | + - sha: 0e3084ed009baa51db38a640ae7c23d638af2756 |
| 219 | + - type: commit |
| 220 | + - url: |
| 221 | + https://api.github.com/repos/fastai/fastcore/git/commits/0e3084ed009baa51db38a640ae7c23d638af2756 |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +Now that we’ve provided our token, we can use authenticated endpoints |
| 224 | +such as creating an issue: |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +``` python |
| 227 | +issue = api.issues.create("Remember to check out GhApi!") |
| 228 | +``` |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +Since we’ve now checked out GhApi, let’s close this issue. 😎 |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +``` python |
| 233 | +api.issues.update(issue.number, state='closed') |
| 234 | +``` |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +## How to use - command line |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +You can use [`GhApi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/core.html#ghapi) via the |
| 239 | +command line, and can access nearly everything in the [GitHub |
| 240 | +API](https://docs.github.com/rest). We provide an overview here of one |
| 241 | +of the command line programs, |
| 242 | +[`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi) – see the full CLI docs |
| 243 | +page for details on all the programs available. |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +We strongly recommend enabling tab completion for |
| 246 | +[`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi), which you can do by |
| 247 | +placing the following command at the end of your `~/.bashrc` or |
| 248 | +`~/.zshrc` file: |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +``` bash |
| 251 | +eval "$(completion-ghapi --install)" |
| 252 | +``` |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +To get started with the [`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi) |
| 255 | +command, first find the name of the operation you wish to perform, for |
| 256 | +instance by searching the [full API |
| 257 | +reference](https://ghapi.fast.ai/fullapi.html). |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +To use [`ghapi`](https://ghapi.fast.ai/cli.html#ghapi), pass the method |
| 260 | +name (exactly the same as you’d use in the Python API) as the first |
| 261 | +parameter, followed by any positional parameters required, and then |
| 262 | +keyword arguments with “`--`” before each parameter name. |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +For instance, [git.get_ref](https://ghapi.fast.ai/fullapi.html#git) |
| 265 | +takes three parameters: `owner`, `repo`, and `ref`. If we wish to pass |
| 266 | +the first two as positional parameters, and the last as a named |
| 267 | +argument, then we’d call: |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +``` bash |
| 270 | +ghapi git.get_ref fastai ghapi-test --ref heads/master |
| 271 | +``` |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +If you have enabled tab completion, then after you’ve typed `ghapi g` |
| 274 | +try pressing <kbd>Tab</kbd>, and you’ll see all the operation groups |
| 275 | +available in the GitHub API that start with `g`. If you keep typing, |
| 276 | +e.g. `ghapi git.`, and hit <kbd>Tab</kbd> again, you’ll now see all the |
| 277 | +operations available in the `git` group, i.e: |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | + git.create_blob git.create_commit git.create_ref git.create_tag git.create_tree git.delete_ref git.get_blob git.get_commit git.get_ref git.get_tag git.get_tree git.list_matching_refs git.name git.update_ref git.verbs |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +If you pass just `--help` after the operation name, you’ll see a full |
| 282 | +list of all parameters accepted, and a link to the official GitHub |
| 283 | +documentation. |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +``` bash |
| 286 | +ghapi git.get_ref --help |
| 287 | +>>> git.get_ref(owner, repo, ref) |
| 288 | +>>> https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/git#get-a-reference |
| 289 | +``` |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +In addition to `--help` and the GitHub operation parameters, you can |
| 292 | +also pass the following: |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +- `--headers`: A list of extra headers to pass, JSON-encoded |
| 295 | +- `--token`: A GitHub authentation token |
| 296 | +- `--debug`: Print requests before sending them |
