GHRequestor

A simple, resilient GitHub API client that:

• Is great for bulk fetching of resources from the GitHub API.
• Retries on errors and various forms of rate-limiting.
• Backs off as you reach your API limit.
• Automatically fetches all pages of a multi-page resource.
• Uses etags to conserve API tokens and be kind to GitHub.
• Reports comprehensive data on number of pages fetched, retry attempts, and length of delays.

GHRequestor is a relatively low-level facility intended for traversing large graphs of GitHub resources. Its primary usecase is GHCrawler, an engine that walks subsections of GitHub collecting related resources. This not intended to replace great modules like octonode or github.

Usage

The API is modelled after the standard node request libarary and the underlying requestretry library. It works with promises or callbacks and allows you to create pre-initialized requestor instances (with options setup) for injection into subsystems etc.

Simple GET of a single page

const ghrequestor = require('ghrequestor');
ghrequestor.get('https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/ghrequestor').then(response => {
  console.log(response.body);
});

GET a resource that spans multiple pages and flatten the responses into a single array. Notice the result includes an activity property detailing the requests and responses that went into getting the final result. You can swap getAll with getAllResponses to get back the raw responses rather than flattened array of values.

const ghrequestor = require('ghrequestor');
ghrequestor.getAll('https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/ghrequestor/commits').then(result => {
  console.log(result.length);
  console.log(result.activity.length);
  console.log(result.activity[0].attempts);
});

GET with a set of etags and a content supplier that has the etagged resources. With this you can integrate an in-memory or persistent cache of GitHub resources and let ghrequestor optimize the fetching and your use of API tokens. It's nicer on the GitHub infrastructure as well. Notice that the etag value include the "s.

const ghrequestor = require('ghrequestor');
const url = <some url>;
ghrequestor.getAllResponses(url, { etags: ['"42"']}).then(responses => {
  const supplier = url => { return yourContentLookupCode(); };
  return ghrequestor.flattenResponses(responses, supplier).then(results => {
    console.log(results.length);
  });
});

Authentication

Authentication is handled the same as with Node's request when using optoins and headers. You can either pass the authorization header in with each call or create a request template that has the authorization header set.

ghrequestor.get(url, { authorization: 'token <my token here>' });

Or

const requestorTemplate = ghrequestor.defaults({ authorization: 'token <my token here>' });
requestorTemplate.get(url);

Logging

ghrequestor takes a winston-style logger as a logger option. Set that option on each call or in a template

const winston = require('winston');
const requestorTemplate = ghrequestor.defaults({ logger: winston });
requestorTemplate.get(url);
