Re. Displaying Past Sponsorships on Sponsors Profile Page.

Uhhh, What's the GraphQL API endpoint?

[jdevfullstack]

Thanks for your answer, but I wanna got a field that can get the past sponsorships. I've searched it from documentation of github graphql, but I can't.

Hi there! I'm a dev on the Sponsors team. We're adding the ability to query for past sponsorships to the GraphQL API. It's a work in progress, but the first chunk just became available: there's now an activeOnly argument for the Sponsorable.sponsorshipsAsSponsor connection. For example:

{
  viewer {
    login
    sponsorshipsAsSponsor(first: 100, activeOnly: false) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        sponsorable {
          ... on User {
            login
          }
          ... on Organization {
            login
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

When I run this on https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer, I get 20 results because my past sponsorships are included, versus the 11 I get when I either a) omit activeOnly or b) pass activeOnly=true.

Hopefully this helps! I'll post on here again if more fields or arguments are added to the API involving past sponsorships.

Emm，Or are there any fields that distinguish past sponsors?

[dohooo]

Because I'm developing a tool that can generate sponsorship coverage and the form of display different between current and past, so I need to distinguish them. I need to fetch two times and process them with a filter if I can not get two kinds of data directly.

[cheshire137]

are there any fields that distinguish past sponsors?

Not yet, but I'm working on a Sponsorship.isActive field that I expect to ship soon.

[cheshire137]

The Sponsorship.isActive field is now available! For example:

-- https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer

query {
  mikemcquaid:user(login:"mikemcquaid") {
    sponsorshipForViewerAsSponsor(activeOnly: false) {
      isActive
      sponsorEntity {
        ... on User { login }
      }
    }
  }
  jonschlinkert:user(login:"jonschlinkert") {
    sponsorshipForViewerAsSponsor(activeOnly: false) {
      isActive
      sponsorEntity {
        ... on User { login }
      }
    }
  }
}

You can see on my profile page, https://github.com/cheshire137?tab=sponsoring, that I'm currently sponsoring jonschlinkert (isActive came back as true in the API response above) and that I had previously sponsored mikemcquaid (isActive came back as false in the API response above).
