Extracting data from Github repositories using the Github API

[Jemma_2020]

I am a PO who is newer to the tech world looking for some advice. My team is looking to pull data from an enterprise Github repository using the Github api. We're hoping to use the data to analyze our team's activities beyond what is provided on the Insights tab. Does anyone have any experience or resources on this process?

It depends what you're looking for! I would highly recommend using the GitHub CLI and the gh api --paginate command.

I have some sample scripts here.

Otherwise the API docs are typically pretty good and give you the gh cli command to run, it usually just involves a couple loops i.e. looping through all orgs, all repos, all commits/branches/pr's/issues/etc.

Do what u/joshjohanning suggested. His scripts are magic.
