How to get all user's details(login, name, location etc)

[rakeshcusat]

Thanks for providing your library, I really appreciate your good work.
Currently I am using your library to fetch user's details. code snippet is as follow.
gh = Github(login_or_token="rakeshcusat", password=pswd, per_page=100) user_pages = gh.get_users().get_page(0) print_page(user_pages) #This method prints all user details.
This works. it prints 135 user details. But I want to print all user details. I am facing two problems.

1. I don't know how to get the total number of pages, so I can iteratively pass the page number in get_page() method.
2. As we know there is rate limit on the API call, I want to know the current remaining limit for API call. API call returns "X-RateLimit-Remaining" value in header but I don't know how to access this value. Is there any interface available to access this value?

There is no way to know the length of a PaginatedList, because the Github API v3 doesn't provide a way.

You don't have to use get_page on the PaginatedList. Just iterate on it. If you really want to list all the logins of all users, for example, just say:

for u in github.Github().get_users():
    print u.login

But this will be very long and result in a huge number of API calls. I advice you to store what you retrieve and be prepared to resume the iteration from a specific user. For this, I suspect get_page won't even work on Github.get_users because pagination of this API is specific. You should use the since parameter of Github.get_users

Beware, some attributes of NamedUser are returned by the calls to Github.get_users (see http://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-all-users) but if you want other attributes (full name, etc.), PyGithub will make one call to Github API v3 for each user, resulting in a huge number of API calls, again.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Vincent for your reply.

I had tried this earlier but it didn't work. It gave me error "iterator is not present for this object.

for u in github.Github().get_users():
    print u.login

But when I tried it now, it worked. May be I used get_user() instead of get_users(), never mind. It is working now.

You didn't answer my second question.
2. As we know there is rate limit on the API call, I want to know the current remaining limit for API call. API call returns "X-RateLimit-Remaining" value in header but I don't know how to access this value. Is there any interface/method available to access this value? Or is GET /rate_limit implemented?

Oups, didn't see your second question! Just use Github.rate_limiting which
is updated with the X-RateLimit-... headers when we receive them.

dic={}
for i in g.get_user().get_orgs()
dic=i

i need all the data with out mentioning the keys,like i.name or i.created_at,it needs to store all information with out explicitily naming them
expected o/p
{
"login":"name"
"created_at":"date"
"updated_at":"date"
and so on
}
