ghreq is a simple wrapper around requests with various customizations
aimed at working with the GitHub REST API. Notable features include:

When making a request, you only need to specify the part of the URL after the
API base URL. You can even construct objects for making requests with a URL
baked in.
All request methods return decoded JSON by default.
4xx and 5xx responses are automatically raised as errors without needing to
call raise_for_status().
Errors raised for 4xx and 5xx responses include the body of the response in
the error message.
Support for iterating over paginated results
The Accept and X-GitHub-Api-Version headers are automatically set to
their recommended values.
Follows GitHub’s recommendations for dealing with rate limits, including
waiting between mutating requests and waiting & retrying in response to
rate-limit errors
Automatic retrying on 5xx errors with exponential backoff


Installation
ghreq requires Python 3.8 or higher. Just use pip
for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install it:
python3 -m pip install ghreq


Example
from ghreq import Client

with Client(token="your-api-token-here") as client:
user = client.get("/user")
print("I am user", user["login"])
print()

print("Here are my repositories:")
for repo in client.paginate("/user/repos"):
print(repo["full_name"])
print()

hello_world = client / "repos" / "octocat" / "Hello-World"
details = hello_world.get()
print(f"{details['full_name']} has been starred {details['stargazers_count']} times.")
print("Here is the first page of its open issues & PRs:")
for issue in (hello_world / "issues").get():
print(f"#{issue['number']}: {issue['title']}")


API

Client Class
class Client:
def __init__(
*,
token: str | None = None,
api_url: str = DEFAULT_API_URL,
session: requests.Session | None = None,
set_headers: bool | None = None,
user_agent: str | None = None,
accept: str | None = DEFAULT_ACCEPT,
api_version: str | None = DEFAULT_API_VERSION,
mutation_delay: float = 1.0,
retry_config: RetryConfig | None = None,
)
An HTTP client class for interacting with the GitHub REST API (or sufficiently
similar APIs).
Constructor arguments:

token
The GitHub access token, if any, to use to authenticate to the API.
This argument is ignored if set_headers is False or defaulted to
False.

api_url
The base URL to which to append paths passed to the request methods

session
A pre-configured requests.Session instance to use for making requests.
If no session is supplied, a new session is instantiated.

set_headers
Whether to set various headers for requests made via the session. If
set_headers is None, it is defaulted to True if session is
None and to False otherwise.
If set_headers is True or defaulted to True, the following
request headers are set on the session:

Accept (if accept is non-None)
Authorization (set to "Bearer {token}" if token is
non-None)
User-Agent (if user_agent is non-None)
X-GitHub-Api-Version (if api_version is non-None)
any additional headers included in headers

If set_headers is False or defaulted to False, then Client
does not set any headers on the session, and the other header-related
parameters are ignored.

user_agent
A user agent string to include in the headers of requests. If not set, the
requests library’s default user agent is used.
This argument is ignored if set_headers is False or defaulted to
False.

accept
Value to set the Accept header to. Can be set to None to not set
the header at all.
This argument is ignored if set_headers is False or defaulted to
False.

api_version
Value to set the X-GitHub-Api-Version header to. Can be set to
None to not set the header at all.
This argument is ignored if set_headers is False or defaulted to
False.

headers
Optional mapping of additional headers to set on the session after setting
all other headers.
This argument is ignored if set_headers is False or defaulted to
False.

mutation_delay
When making a POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE request, if the
time since the last such request is fewer than mutation_delay seconds,
then the client will sleep long enough to make up the difference before
performing the request.

retry_config
Configuration for the request retrying mechanism. If not set, a
RetryConfig instance with all default attributes will be used; see
below.


Client instances can be used as context managers, in which case they close
their internal requests.Session instances on exit (regardless of whether
the session was user-provided or not).
A Client instance can be “divided” by a string (e.g., client / "user")
to obtain an Endpoint instance that makes requests to the URL formed from
api_url and the “divisor”; see below.
Client.request(
method: str,
path: str,
json: Any = None,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
data: DataType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
allow_redirects: bool = True,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform an HTTP request with the given method/verb. If path begins with
http:// or https://, it is used as-is for the URL of the request.
Otherwise, path is appended to the api_url value supplied to the
constructor, with a forward slash inserted in between if there isn’t one
present already. Thus, given a client constructed with the default
api_url, the following are equivalent:
client.request("GET", "user")

client.request("GET", "/user")

client.request("GET", "https://api.github.com/user")
If the request is successful, the body is decoded as JSON and returned; if the
body is empty (except possibly for whitespace), None is returned. To make
the method return the actual requests.Response object instead, pass
raw=True (or stream=True, which implies it).
The remaining arguments have the same meaning as in requests.
If the request fails, it may be retried with exponentially increasing wait
times between attempts; see the documentation of RetryConfig below. If all
retries are exhausted without success, the exception from the final request is
raised.
If the request fails with a 4xx or 5xx response, a PrettyHTTPError is
raised.
Client.get(
path: str,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform a GET request. See the documentation of request() for more
information.
Client.post(
path: str,
json: Any = None,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
data: DataType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform a POST request. See the documentation of request() for more
information.
Client.put(
path: str,
json: Any = None,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
data: DataType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform a PUT request. See the documentation of request() for more
information.
Client.patch(
path: str,
json: Any = None,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
data: DataType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform a PATCH request. See the documentation of request() for more
information.
Client.delete(
path: str,
json: Any = None,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
data: DataType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
stream: bool = False,
raw: bool = False,
) -> Any
Perform a DELETE request. See the documentation of request() for more
information.
Client.paginate(
path: str,
*,
params: ParamsType = None,
headers: HeadersType = None,
timeout: TimeoutType = None,
raw: Literal[True, False] = False,
) -> Iterator
Perform a series of paginated GET requests and yield the items from each
page. The path and params arguments are only used for the initial
request; further requests follow the “next” entry in the Link header of
each response.
The bodies of the responses must be either JSON lists (in which case the list
elements are yielded) or JSON objects in which exactly one field is a list (in
which case the elements of that list are yielded); otherwise, an error occurs.
If raw is True, then instead of yielding each page’s items, the
returned iterator will yield each page as a requests.Response object.
Client.close() -> None
Close the client’s internal requests.Session. No more request methods may
be called afterwards.
This method is called automatically on exit when using Client as a context
manager.


Endpoint Class
class Endpoint:
client: Client
url: str
A combination of a Client instance and a URL. Endpoint has
request(), get(), post(), put(), patch(), delete(), and
paginate() methods that work the same way as for Client, except that
Endpoint’s methods do not take path arguments; instead, they make
requests to the stored URL. This is useful if you find yourself making
requests to the same URL and/or paths under the same URL over & over.
An Endpoint instance is constructed by applying the / (division)
operator to a Client or Endpoint instance on the left and a string on
the right. If the string begins with http:// or https://, it is used
as-is for the URL of the resulting Endpoint. Otherwise, the string is
appended to the api_url or url attribute of the object on the left,
with a forward slash inserted in between if there isn’t one present already.
Thus, given a client constructed with the default api_url, the
following are equivalent:
client.get("repos/octocat/hello-world")

(client / "repos/octocat/hello-world").get()

(client / "repos" / "octocat" / "hello-world").get()


RetryConfig Class
class RetryConfig:
def __init__(
retries: int = 10,
backoff_factor: float = 1.0,
backoff_base: float = 1.25,
backoff_jitter: float = 0.0
backoff_max: float = 120.0,
total_wait: float | None = 300.0,
retry_statuses: Container[int] = range(500, 600),
)
A container for storing configuration for ghreq’s retrying mechanism. A
request is retried if (a) a response.RequestException is raised that is not
a ValueError (e.g., a connection or timeout error), (b) the server responds
with a 403 status code and either the Retry-After header is present or the
body contains the string "rate limit", or (c) the server responds with a
status code listed in retry_statuses.
When a request is retried, the client sleeps for increasing amounts of time
between repeated requests until either a non-retriable response is obtained,
retries retry attempts have been performed, or the total amount of time
elapsed since the start of the first request exceeds total_wait, if set.
The first retry happens after sleeping for backoff_factor * 0.1 seconds,
and subsequent retries happen after sleeping for backoff_factor * backoff_base ** (retry_number - 1) + random.random() * backoff_jitter
seconds, up to a maximum of backoff_max per retry. If a Retry-After or
x-ratelimit-reset header indicates a larger duration to sleep for, that
value is used instead. If the duration indicated by such a header would result
in the next retry attempt being after total_wait is exceeded, retrying
stops early.


PrettyHTTPError Class
class PrettyHTTPError(requests.HTTPError)
A subclass of requests.HTTPError raised automatically by the request
methods if a response with a 4xx or 5xx status code is received. Unlike its
parent class, stringifying a PrettyHTTPError will produce a string that
contains the body of the response; if the body was JSON, that JSON will be
pretty-printed.


Constants
DEFAULT_ACCEPT = "application/vnd.github+json"
The default value of the accept argument to the Client constructor
DEFAULT_API_URL = "https://api.github.com"
The default value of the api_url argument to the Client constructor
DEFAULT_API_VERSION = "2022-11-28"
The default value of the api_version argument to the Client constructor


Utility Functions
make_user_agent(name: str, version: str | None = None, url: str | None = None) -> str
Create a user agent string with the given client name, optional version, and
optional URL. The string will also include the version of the requests
library used and the implemention & version of Python.
get_github_api_url() -> str
If the GITHUB_API_URL environment variable is set to a nonempty string,
that string is returned; otherwise, DEFAULT_API_URL is returned.
