Github Analytics Tool

A Program made in Python, that uses requests module to fetches and analysis publically available information of Github account

Requirements

Language Used = Python3
Modules/Packages used:

• requests
• os
• pathlib
• subprocess
• datetime
• bs4
• optparse
• pickle
• colorama
• time

Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

main.py

It takes the arguments from the command that is used to run the Python Program.
It takes in the following arguments:

• '-u', "--users" : ID of the Users to get Details. (seperated by ',')
• '-l', "--load" : File from which to load the Users
• '-w', "--write" : Name of the file to dump extracted data
• '-r', "--read" : Read a dump file
• '-c', "--clone-repositories" : Clone All Repositories of a User (True/False)

Files

It makes data and users folders.

• data: It stores the dumped data of the users. (Dumped using pickle)
• users: It stores the cloned repositories of the Users. (with User's name as the Parent Folder of the Cloned Repositories)

Note

Reason of using requests instead of github API is that, by using this method of approach, it gives a proof that scrapping other Website that don't have API would be easy. Because the documentation of API is given online and can be easily used to get all required data.
