github3
github3.api
This part of the documentation covers the API. This is intended to be a beautifully written module which allows the user (developer) to interact with github3.py
elegantly and easily.
To interact with the GitHub API you can either authenticate to access protected functionality or you can interact with it anonymously. Authenticating provides more functionality to the user (developer).
To authenticate, you may use github3.login
.
github3.login
With the ~github3.github.GitHub
object that is returned you have access to more functionality. See that object's documentation for more information.
To use the API anonymously, you can also create a new ~github3.github.GitHub
object, e.g.,
from github3 import GitHub
gh = GitHub()
If you're using github3.py to interact with an enterprise installation of GitHub, you must use the ~github3.github.GitHubEnterprise
object. Upon initialization, the only parameter you must supply is the URL of your enterprise installation, e.g.
from github3 import GitHubEnterprise
g = GitHubEnterprise('https://github.examplesintl.com')
stats = g.admin_stats('all')
assert 'issues' in stats, ('Key issues is not included in the admin'
'statistics')
