Minimum Reproducible Example

Please provide an example of the code that generates the error you're seeing.

repo = gh.repository('pytoolz', 'toolz') 
events = repo.issue_events() 
events = list(events)

I am trying to get all issue events for a repo. But I got TypeError, I think it's because some json records don't have all the fields. In this case, it doesn’t have user[‘avatar_url’].

Yeah that looks like a valid thing. It's been a while since I dug into this part of the code, but I'm guessing a get() call is needed, or some validation that the user object here is a real user object.

a real user object

Or it'd be great if GitHub's docs were up-to-date here. That said, I think the problem is that events might not have an actor and this was a problem when events didn't have a user or something before. Support had indicated this could be reliably accessed now.
