Creation of Individual Organizations Page

[Olivia-Chiong]

Overview

We need to plan the process of how the individual organization page will be created and the order in which APIs will be called so front end can build the page.

Action Items

• Clarify the order in which the GitHub API and CTI database will be called
  • Agree to call CTI database and get organization information first before calling GitHub API
• Decide how ancestor and alias tags will be added/dropped

Resources/Instructions

GitHub Documentation

@giosce will research what information we can pull from the GitHub API

Examples:
GitHub ID + civictechindex
or openoakland + civictechindex
or openoakland + open-oakland + civictechindex

[giosce]

This works https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:hack-for-la+civictechindex+homelessness
topics are in AND
This works https://api.github.com/orgs/hackforla but not by ID https://api.github.com/orgs/11635254
HackForLA repos at https://api.github.com/orgs/hackforla/repos but the response doesn't contain "topics"

[Olivia-Chiong]

So in order to get all projects in the organization that have joined the index, we need to use the following:

openoakland + civictechindex AND open-oakland + civictechindex and all other aliases in our alias list.

We will then have to dedup them before displaying the results.
