GitHub API - softwaresaved/rse-repo-analysis GitHub Wiki

Useful snippets for reference.

Events:

from github import Github
g = Github()
r = g.get_repo('softwaresaved/rse-repo-analysis')
events = r.get_events()  # Paginated list of events
for e in events:
    print((e.type, e.actor.login, e.created_at))

This doesn't seem to always return watch events - It did for my own repos, but not for this repo (which is in an org space)...

• WatchEvent: when someone stars a repository
• starring: bookmark repository, no notifications or activity feed
  • used to be called watching
• subscribing: is now called watching, at least the concept is - not always the case in the API
  • receive notifications for activity in a repository
• subscribers_count: users who receive notifications (eye icon)
• watchers, watchers_count, stargazers_count: users who bookmarked the repo (star icon)
