[License](#license) ## Philosophy API wrappers [should reflect the idioms of the language in which they were written][wrappers]. Octokit.rb wraps the [GitHub API][github-api] in a flat API client that follows Ruby conventions and requires little knowledge of REST. Most methods have positional arguments for required input and an options hash for optional parameters, headers, or other options: ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new # Fetch a README with Accept header for HTML format client.readme 'al3x/sovereign', :accept => 'application/vnd.github.html' ``` [wrappers]: http://wynnnetherland.com/journal/what-makes-a-good-api-wrapper [github-api]: https://developer.github.com/v3/ ## Installation Install via Rubygems gem install octokit ... or add to your Gemfile gem "octokit" Access the library in Ruby: require 'octokit' ## Making requests [API methods][] are available as client instance methods. ```ruby # Provide authentication credentials client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => 'personal_access_token') # You can still use the username/password syntax by replacing the password value with your PAT. # client = Octokit::Client.new(:login => 'defunkt', :password => 'personal_access_token') # Fetch the current user client.user ``` ### Additional query parameters When passing additional parameters to GET based request use the following syntax: ```ruby # query: { parameter_name: 'value' } # Example: Get repository listing by owner in ascending order client.repos({}, query: {type: 'owner', sort: 'asc'}) # Example: Get contents of a repository by ref # https://api.github.com/repos/octokit/octokit.rb/contents/path/to/file.rb?ref=some-other-branch client.contents('octokit/octokit.rb', path: 'path/to/file.rb', query: {ref: 'some-other-branch'}) ``` [api methods]: http://octokit.github.io/octokit.rb/method_list.html ## Consuming resources Most methods return a `Resource` object which provides dot notation and `[]` access for fields returned in the API response. ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new # Fetch a user user = client.user 'jbarnette' puts user.name # => "John Barnette" puts user.fields # => <Set: {:login, :id, :gravatar_id, :type, :name, :company, :blog, :location, :email, :hireable, :bio, :public_repos, :followers, :following, :created_at, :updated_at, :public_gists}> puts user[:company] # => "GitHub" user.rels[:gists].href # => "https://api.github.com/users/jbarnette/gists" ``` **Note:** URL fields are culled into a separate `.rels` collection for easier [Hypermedia](#hypermedia-agent) support. ## Accessing HTTP responses While most methods return a `Resource` object or a Boolean, sometimes you may need access to the raw HTTP response headers. You can access the last HTTP response with `Client#last_response`: ```ruby user = client.user 'andrewpthorp' response = client.last_response etag = response.headers[:etag] ``` ## Handling errors When the API returns an error response, Octokit will raise a Ruby exception. A range of different exceptions can be raised depending on the error returned by the API - for example: * A `400 Bad Request` response will lead to an `Octokit::BadRequest` error * A `403 Forbidden` error with a "rate limited exceeded" message will lead to a `Octokit::TooManyRequests` error All of the different exception classes inherit from `Octokit::Error` and expose the `#response_status`, `#response_headers` and `#response_body`. For validation errors, `#errors` will return an `Array` of `Hash`es with the detailed information [returned by the API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#client-errors). ## Authentication Octokit supports the various [authentication methods supported by the GitHub API][auth]: ### Basic Authentication Using your GitHub username and password is the easiest way to get started making authenticated requests: ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new(:login => 'defunkt', :password => 'c0d3b4ssssss!') user = client.user user.login # => "defunkt" ``` While Basic Authentication allows you to get started quickly, OAuth access tokens are the preferred way to authenticate on behalf of users. ### OAuth access tokens [OAuth access tokens][oauth] provide two main benefits over using your username and password: - **Revocable access**. Access tokens can be revoked, removing access for only that token without having to change your password everywhere. - **Limited access**. Access tokens have [access scopes][] which allow for more granular access to API resources. For instance, you can grant a third party access to your gists but not your private repositories. To use an access token with the Octokit client, pass your token in the `:access_token` options parameter in lieu of your username and password: ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => "<your 40 char token>") user = client.user user.login # => "defunkt" ``` You can [create access tokens through your GitHub Account Settings](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use). ### Two-Factor Authentication [Two-Factor Authentication](https://help.github.com/articles/about-two-factor-authentication) brings added security to the account by requiring more information to login. Using two-factor authentication for API calls is as simple as adding the [required header](http://developer.github.com/v3/auth/#working-with-two-factor-authentication) as an option: ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new \ :login => 'defunkt', :password => 'c0d3b4ssssss!' user = client.user("defunkt", :headers => { "X-GitHub-OTP" => "<your 2FA token>" }) ``` ### Using a .netrc file Octokit supports reading credentials from a netrc file (defaulting to `~/.netrc`). Given these lines in your netrc: ``` machine api.github.com login defunkt password c0d3b4ssssss! ``` You can now create a client with those credentials: ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new(:netrc => true) client.login # => "defunkt" ``` But _I want to use OAuth_ you say. Since the GitHub API supports using an OAuth token as a Basic password, you totally can: ``` machine api.github.com login defunkt password <your 40 char token> ``` **Note:** Support for netrc requires adding the [netrc gem][] to your Gemfile or `.gemspec`. ### Application authentication Octokit also supports application-only authentication [using OAuth application client credentials][app-creds]. Using application credentials will result in making anonymous API calls on behalf of an application in order to take advantage of the higher rate limit. ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new \ :client_id => "<your 20 char id>", :client_secret => "<your 40 char secret>" user = client.user 'defunkt' ``` [auth]: http://developer.github.com/v3/#authentication [oauth]: http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/ [access scopes]: http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes [app-creds]: http://developer.github.com/v3/#increasing-the-unauthenticated-rate-limit-for-oauth-applications ### GitHub App Octokit.rb also supports authentication [using a GitHub App](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/managing-github-apps/installing-github-apps), which [requires a generated JWT token](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps#authenticating-as-a-github-app). ```ruby client = Octokit::Client.new(:bearer_token => "<your jwt token>") client.app # => about GitHub App info ``` ## Default results per_page Default results from the GitHub API are 30, if you wish to add more you must do so during Octokit configuration. ```ruby Octokit::Client.new(access_token: "<your 40 char token>", per_page: 100) ``` ## Pagination Many GitHub API resources are [paginated][]. While you may be tempted to start adding `:page` parameters to your calls, the API returns links to the next, previous, and last pages for you in the `Link` response header as [Hypermedia link relations](#hypermedia-agent). ```ruby issues = client.issues 'rails/rails' issues.concat client.get(client.last_response.rels[:next].href) ``` ### Auto pagination For smallish resource lists, Octokit provides auto pagination. When this is enabled, calls for paginated resources will fetch and concatenate the results from every page into a single array: ```ruby client.auto_paginate = true issues = client.issues 'rails/rails' issues.length # => 702 ``` You can also enable auto pagination for all Octokit client instances: ```ruby Octokit.configure do |c| c.auto_paginate = true end ``` **Note:** While Octokit auto pagination will set the page size to the maximum `100`, and seek to not overstep your rate limit, you probably want to use a custom pattern for traversing large lists. [paginated]: http://developer.github.com/v3/#pagination ## Working with GitHub Enterprise With a bit of setup, you can also use Octokit with your GitHub Enterprise instance. ### Interacting with the GitHub.com APIs in GitHub Enterprise To interact with the "regular" GitHub.com APIs in GitHub Enterprise, simply configure the `api_endpoint` to match your hostname. For example: ```ruby Octokit.configure do |c| c.api_endpoint = "https://<hostname>/api/v3/" end client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => "<your 40 char token>") ``` ### Interacting with the GitHub Enterprise Admin APIs The GitHub Enterprise Admin APIs are under a different client: `EnterpriseAdminClient`. You'll need to have an administrator account in order to use these APIs. ```ruby admin_client = Octokit::EnterpriseAdminClient.new( :access_token => "<your 40 char token>", :api_endpoint => "https://<hostname>/api/v3/" ) # or Octokit.configure do |c| c.api_endpoint = "https://<hostname>/api/v3/" c.access_token = "<your 40 char token>" end admin_client = Octokit.enterprise_admin_client.new ``` ### Interacting with the GitHub Enterprise Management Console APIs The GitHub Enterprise Management Console APIs are also under a separate client: `EnterpriseManagementConsoleClient`. In order to use it, you'll need to provide both your management console password as well as the endpoint to your management console. This is different from the API endpoint provided above. ```ruby management_console_client = Octokit::EnterpriseManagementConsoleClient.new( :management_console_password => "secret", :management_console_endpoint = "https://hostname:8633" ) # or Octokit.configure do |c| c.management_console_endpoint = "https://hostname:8633" c.management_console_password = "secret" end management_console_client = Octokit.enterprise_management_console_client.new ``` ### SSL Connection Errors You _may_ need to disable SSL temporarily while first setting up your GitHub Enterprise install. You can do that with the following configuration: ```ruby client.connection_options[:ssl] = { :verify => false } ``` Do remember to turn `:verify` back to `true`, as it's important for secure communication. ## Configuration and defaults While `Octokit::Client` accepts a range of options when creating a new client instance, Octokit's configuration API allows you to set your configuration options at the module level. This is particularly handy if you're creating a number of client instances based on some shared defaults. Changing options affects new instances only and will not modify existing `Octokit::Client` instances created with previous options. ### Configuring module defaults Every writable attribute in {Octokit::Configurable} can be set one at a time: ```ruby Octokit.api_endpoint = 'http://api.github.dev' Octokit.web_endpoint = 'http://github.dev' ``` or in batch: ```ruby Octokit.configure do |c| c.api_endpoint = 'http://api.github.dev' c.web_endpoint = 'http://github.dev' end ``` ### Using ENV variables Default configuration values are specified in {Octokit::Default}. Many attributes will look for a default value from the ENV before returning Octokit's default. ```ruby # Given $OCTOKIT_API_ENDPOINT is "http://api.github.dev" client.api_endpoint # => "http://api.github.dev" ``` Deprecation warnings and API endpoints in development preview warnings are printed to STDOUT by default, these can be disabled by setting the ENV `OCTOKIT_SILENT=true`. ### Timeouts By default, Octokit does not timeout network requests. To set a timeout, pass in Faraday timeout settings to Octokit's `connection_options` setting. ```ruby Octokit.configure do |c| c.api_endpoint = ENV.fetch('GITHUB_API_ENDPOINT', 'https://api.github.com/') c.connection_options = { request: { open_timeout: 5, timeout: 5 } } end ``` You should set a timeout in order to avoid Ruby’s Timeout module, which can hose your server. Here are some resources for more information on this: - [The Oldest Bug In Ruby - Why Rack::Timeout Might Hose your Server](https://www.schneems.com/2017/02/21/the-oldest-bug-in-ruby-why-racktimeout-might-hose-your-server/) - [Timeout: Ruby's Most Dangerous API](https://www.mikeperham.com/2015/05/08/timeout-rubys-most-dangerous-api/) - [The Ultimate Guide to Ruby Timeouts](https://github.com/ankane/the-ultimate-guide-to-ruby-timeouts) ## Hypermedia agent Starting in version 2.0, Octokit is [hypermedia][]-enabled. Under the hood, {Octokit::Client} uses [Sawyer][], a hypermedia client built on [Faraday][]. ### Hypermedia in Octokit Resources returned by Octokit methods contain not only data but hypermedia link relations: ```ruby user = client.user 'technoweenie' # Get the repos rel, returned from the API # as repos_url in the resource user.rels[:repos].href # => "https://api.github.com/users/technoweenie/repos" repos = user.rels[:repos].get.data repos.last.name # => "faraday-zeromq" ``` When processing API responses, all `*_url` attributes are culled into the link relations collection. Any `url` attribute becomes `.rels[:self]`. ### URI templates You might notice many link relations have variable placeholders. Octokit supports [URI Templates][uri-templates] for parameterized URI expansion: ```ruby repo = client.repo 'pengwynn/pingwynn' rel = repo.rels[:issues] # => #<Sawyer::Relation: issues: get https://api.github.com/repos/pengwynn/pingwynn/issues{/number}> # Get a page of issues rel.get.data # Get issue #2 rel.get(:uri => {:number => 2}).data ``` ### The Full Hypermedia Experience™ If you want to use Octokit as a pure hypermedia API client, you can start at the API root and follow link relations from there: ```ruby root = client.root root.rels[:repository].get :uri => {:owner => "octokit", :repo => "octokit.rb" } root.rels[:user_repositories].get :uri => { :user => "octokit" }, :query => { :type => "owner" } ``` Octokit 3.0 aims to be hypermedia-driven, removing the internal URL construction currently used throughout the client. [hypermedia]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermedia [sawyer]: https://github.com/lostisland/sawyer [faraday]: https://github.com/lostisland/faraday [uri-templates]: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570 ## Upgrading guide Version 4.0 - **removes support for a [long-deprecated overload][list-pulls] for passing state as a positional argument** when listing pull requests. Instead, pass `state` in the method options. - **drops support for Ruby < 2.0**. - adds support for new [Enterprise-only APIs](#working-with-github-enterprise). - adds support for [Repository redirects][redirects]. [list-pulls]: https://github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commit/e48e91f736d5fce51e3bf74d7c9022aaa52f5c5c [redirects]: https://developer.github.com/changes/2015-05-26-repository-redirects-are-coming/ Version 3.0 includes a couple breaking changes when upgrading from v2.x.x: The [default media type][default-media-type] is now `v3` instead of `beta`. If you need to request the older media type, you can set the default media type for the client: ```ruby Octokit.default_media_type = "application/vnd.github.beta+json" ``` or per-request ```ruby client.emails(:accept => "application/vnd.github.beta+json") ``` The long-deprecated `Octokit::Client#create_download` method has been removed. [default-media-type]: https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-01-07-upcoming-change-to-default-media-type/ ### Upgrading from 1.x.x Version 2.0 includes a completely rewritten `Client` factory that now memoizes client instances based on unique configuration options. Breaking changes also include: - `:oauth_token` is now `:access_token` - `:auto_traversal` is now `:auto_paginate` - `Hashie::Mash` has been removed. Responses now return a `Sawyer::Resource` object. This new type behaves mostly like a Ruby `Hash`, but does not fully support the `Hashie::Mash` API. - Two new client error types are raised where appropriate: `Octokit::TooManyRequests` and `Octokit::TooManyLoginAttempts` - The `search_*` methods from v1.x are now found at `legacy_search_*` - Support for netrc requires including the [netrc gem][] in your Gemfile or gemspec. - DateTime fields are now proper `DateTime` objects. Previous versions outputted DateTime fields as 'String' objects. [netrc gem]: https://rubygems.org/gems/netrc ## Advanced usage Since Octokit employs [Faraday][faraday] under the hood, some behavior can be extended via middleware. ### Debugging Often, it helps to know what Octokit is doing under the hood. You can add a logger to the middleware that enables you to peek into the underlying HTTP traffic: ```ruby stack = Faraday::RackBuilder.new do |builder| builder.use Faraday::Retry::Middleware, exceptions: Faraday::Retry::Middleware::DEFAULT_EXCEPTIONS + [Octokit::ServerError] # or Faraday::Request::Retry for Faraday < 2.0 builder.use Octokit::Middleware::FollowRedirects builder.use Octokit::Response::RaiseError builder.use Octokit::Response::FeedParser builder.response :logger do |logger| logger.filter(/(Authorization: "(token|Bearer) )(\w+)/, '\1[REMOVED]') end builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter end Octokit.middleware = stack client = Octokit::Client.new client.user 'pengwynn' ``` ``` I, [2013-08-22T15:54:38.583300 #88227] INFO -- : get https://api.github.com/users/pengwynn D, [2013-08-22T15:54:38.583401 #88227] DEBUG -- request: Accept: "application/vnd.github.beta+json" User-Agent: "Octokit Ruby Gem 2.0.0.rc4" I, [2013-08-22T15:54:38.843313 #88227] INFO -- Status: 200 D, [2013-08-22T15:54:38.843459 #88227] DEBUG -- response: server: "GitHub.com" date: "Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:54:40 GMT" content-type: "application/json; charset=utf-8" transfer-encoding: "chunked" connection: "close" status: "200 OK" x-ratelimit-limit: "60" x-ratelimit-remaining: "39" x-ratelimit-reset: "1377205443" ... ``` See the [Faraday README][faraday] for more middleware magic. ### Caching If you want to boost performance, stretch your API rate limit, or avoid paying the hypermedia tax, you can use [Faraday Http Cache][cache]. Add the gem to your Gemfile gem 'faraday-http-cache' Next, construct your own Faraday middleware: ```ruby stack = Faraday::RackBuilder.new do |builder| builder.use Faraday::HttpCache, serializer: Marshal, shared_cache: false builder.use Octokit::Response::RaiseError builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter end Octokit.middleware = stack ``` Once configured, the middleware will store responses in cache based on ETag fingerprint and serve those back up for future `304` responses for the same resource. See the [project README][cache] for advanced usage. [cache]: https://github.com/sourcelevel/faraday-http-cache [faraday]: https://github.com/lostisland/faraday ## Hacking on Octokit.rb If you want to hack on Octokit locally, we try to make [bootstrapping the project][bootstrapping] as painless as possible. To start hacking, clone and run: script/bootstrap This will install project dependencies and get you up and running. If you want to run a Ruby console to poke on Octokit, you can crank one up with: script/console Using the scripts in `./script` instead of `bundle exec rspec`, `bundle console`, etc. ensures your dependencies are up-to-date. ### Code of Conduct We want both the Octokit.rb and larger Octokit communities to be open and welcoming environments. Please read and follow both in spirit and letter [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). ### Running and writing new tests Octokit uses [VCR][] for recording and playing back API fixtures during test runs. These cassettes (fixtures) are part of the Git project in the `spec/cassettes` folder. If you're not recording new cassettes you can run the specs with existing cassettes with: script/test Octokit uses environmental variables for storing credentials used in testing. If you are testing an API endpoint that doesn't require authentication, you can get away without any additional configuration. For the most part, tests use an authenticated client, using a token stored in `ENV['OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_TOKEN']`. There are several different authentication methods used across the api. Here is the full list of configurable environmental variables for testing Octokit: | ENV Variable | Description | | :----------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_LOGIN` | GitHub login name (preferably one created specifically for testing against). | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_PASSWORD` | Password for the test GitHub login. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_TOKEN` | [Personal Access Token](https://github.com/blog/1509-personal-api-tokens) for the test GitHub login. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` | Test OAuth application client id. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET` | Test OAuth application client secret. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_REPOSITORY` | Test repository to perform destructive actions against, this should not be set to any repository of importance. **Automatically created by the test suite if nonexistent** Default: `api-sandbox` | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ORGANIZATION` | Test organization. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_LOGIN` | GitHub Enterprise login name. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` | GitHub Enterprise token. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_MANAGEMENT_CONSOLE_PASSWORD` | GitHub Enterprise management console password. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_ENDPOINT` | GitHub Enterprise hostname. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_MANAGEMENT_CONSOLE_ENDPOINT` | GitHub Enterprise Management Console endpoint. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_MANAGE_GHES_ENDPOINT` | GitHub Enterprise Server GHES Manage Endpoint. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_MANAGE_GHES_USERNAME` | GitHub Enterprise Server GHES Manage Username. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_MANAGE_GHES_PASSWORD` | GitHub Enterprise Server GHES Manage Password. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_INTEGRATION` | [GitHub Integration](https://developer.github.com/early-access/integrations/) owned by your test organization. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_GITHUB_INTEGRATION_INSTALLATION` | Installation of the GitHub Integration specified above. | | `OCTOKIT_TEST_INTEGRATION_PEM_KEY` | File path to the private key generated from your integration. | Since we periodically refresh our cassettes, please keep some points in mind when writing new specs. - **Specs should be idempotent**. The HTTP calls made during a spec should be able to be run over and over. This means deleting a known resource prior to creating it if the name has to be unique. - **Specs should be able to be run in random order.** If a spec depends on another resource as a fixture, make sure that's created in the scope of the spec and not depend on a previous spec to create the data needed. - **Do not depend on authenticated user info.** Instead of asserting actual values in resources, try to assert the existence of a key or that a response is an Array. We're testing the client, not the API. [bootstrapping]: http://wynnnetherland.com/linked/2013012801/bootstrapping-consistency [vcr]: https://github.com/vcr/vcr ## Supported Ruby Versions This library aims to support and is [tested against][actions] the following Ruby implementations: * Ruby 2.7 * Ruby 3.0 * Ruby 3.1 * Ruby 3.2 * Ruby 3.3 If something doesn't work on one of these Ruby versions, it's a bug. This library may inadvertently work (or seem to work) on other Ruby implementations, but support will only be provided for the versions listed above. If you would like this library to support another Ruby version, you may volunteer to be a maintainer. Being a maintainer entails making sure all tests run and pass on that implementation. When something breaks on your implementation, you will be responsible for providing patches in a timely fashion. If critical issues for a particular implementation exist at the time of a major release, support for that Ruby version may be dropped. [actions]: https://github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/actions ## Versioning This library aims to adhere to [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0][semver]. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, that version should be immediately yanked and/or a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions. As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the [Pessimistic Version Constraint][pvc] with two digits of precision. For example: spec.add_dependency 'octokit', '~> 3.0' The changes made between versions can be seen on the [project releases page][releases]. [semver]: http://semver.org/ [pvc]: http://guides.rubygems.org/patterns/#pessimistic-version-constraint [releases]: https://github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/releases ## Making Repeating Requests In most cases it would be best to use [webhooks](https://developer.github.com/webhooks/), but sometimes webhooks don't provide all of the information needed. In those cases where one might need to poll for progress or retry a request on failure, we designed [Octopoller](https://github.com/octokit/octopoller.rb). Octopoller is a micro gem perfect for making repeating requests. ```ruby Octopoller.poll(timeout: 15.seconds) do begin client.request_progress # ex. request a long running job's status rescue Error :re_poll end end ``` This is useful when making requests for a long running job's progress (ex. requesting a [Source Import's progress](https://developer.github.com/v3/migrations/source_imports/#get-import-progress)). ## License Copyright (c) 2009-2014 Wynn Netherland, Adam Stacoviak, Erik Michaels-Ober Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
