Repository navigation
feature: support "events" #64
Description
Activity
i have a basic working version at https://github.com/khimaros/github-to-sqlite
this can be tested with
github-to-sqlite events.db khimaros/eventscaveat: the GitHub API doesn't seem to provide a complete history of events.
it looks like the v4 GraphQL API is the only way to get data beyond 90 days from GitHub.
this is significant change, but may be worth considering in the future.
Have you found a way to access events in GraphQL? I can only see way to access a timeline of events for a single issue or a single pull request. See also https://github-community.bar.bot.cd/t/get-event-equivalent-for-v4/13600/2
@simonw -- i've created an omega-query that fetched most of what was interesting to me for a single user.
found by poking around in the "Explorer" tab in https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer
note: pagination is still required via
firstandlastbut it seems to allow unlimited history.query MyQuery { __typename user(login: "<user>") { id pinnedItems(first: 100) { edges { node } } pullRequests(first: 100) { nodes { body title state createdAt } } createdAt issues(first: 100) { pageInfo { endCursor startCursor } nodes { title url createdAt body } } issueComments(first: 100) { edges { node { id updatedAt url body } } } repositories(first: 100) { nodes { createdAt description parent { name } pinnedIssues(first: 100) { edges { node { id } } } pinnedDiscussions(first: 100) { edges { node { id } } } } } starredRepositories(first: 100) { edges { node { id } } } } }
the GitHub API provides the ability to fetch all events for a given user, organization, or repository: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/activity#list-events-for-the-authenticated-user
this would allow users to export all of the issue comments, new issues, etc. that they created. something which is currently missing from the GitHub takeout exports.
