Package github provides a client for using the GitHub API.
|
|
|
|
Construct a new GitHub client, then use the various services on the client to
|
|
access different parts of the GitHub API. For example:
|
|
|
|
client := github.NewClient(nil)
|
|
|
|
// list all organizations for user "willnorris"
|
|
orgs, _, err := client.Organizations.List("willnorris", nil)
|
|
|
|
Set optional parameters for an API method by passing an Options object.
|
|
|
|
// list recently updated repositories for org "github"
|
|
opt := &github.RepositoryListByOrgOptions{Sort: "updated"}
|
|
repos, _, err := client.Repositories.ListByOrg("github", opt)
|
|
|
|
The services of a client divide the API into logical chunks and correspond to
|
|
the structure of the GitHub API documentation at
|
|
http://developer.github.com/v3/.
|
|
|
|
Authentication
|
|
|
|
The go-github library does not directly handle authentication. Instead, when
|
|
creating a new client, pass an http.Client that can handle authentication for
|
|
you. The easiest and recommended way to do this is using the goauth2 library,
|
|
but you can always use any other library that provides an http.Client. If you
|
|
have an OAuth2 access token (for example, a personal API token), you can use it
|
|
with the goauth2 using:
|
|
|
|
import "code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth"
|
|
|
|
// simple OAuth transport if you already have an access token;
|
|
// see goauth2 library for full usage
|
|
t := &oauth.Transport{
|
|
Token: &oauth.Token{AccessToken: "..."},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
client := github.NewClient(t.Client())
|
|
|
|
// list all repositories for the authenticated user
|
|
repos, _, err := client.Repositories.List("", nil)
|
|
|
|
Note that when using an authenticated Client, all calls made by the client will
|
|
include the specified OAuth token. Therefore, authenticated clients should
|
|
almost never be shared between different users.
|
|
|
|
Rate Limiting
|
|
|
|
GitHub imposes a rate limit on all API clients. Unauthenticated clients are
|
|
limited to 60 requests per hour, while authenticated clients can make up to
|
|
5,000 requests per hour. To receive the higher rate limit when making calls
|
|
that are not issued on behalf of a user, use the
|
|
UnauthenticatedRateLimitedTransport.
|
|
|
|
The Rate field on a client tracks the rate limit information based on the most
|
|
recent API call. This is updated on every call, but may be out of date if it's
|
|
been some time since the last API call and other clients have made subsequent
|
|
requests since then. You can always call RateLimit() directly to get the most
|
|
up-to-date rate limit data for the client.
|
|
|

|
Creating and Updating Resources
|
|
|
|
All structs for GitHub resources use pointer values for all non-repeated fields.
|
|
This allows distinguishing between unset fields and those set to a zero-value.
|
|
Helper functions have been provided to easily create these pointers for string,
|
|
bool, and int values. For example:
|
|
|
|
// create a new private repository named "foo"
|
|
repo := &github.Repository{
|
|
Name: github.String("foo"),
|
|
Private: github.Bool(true),
|
|
}
|
|
client.Repositories.Create("", repo)
|
|
|
|
Users who have worked with protocol buffers should find this pattern familiar.
