The GitHub API v3 for Haskell.

Some functions are missing; these are functions where the GitHub API did not work as expected. The full GitHub API is in beta and constantly improving.

In your project's cabal file:

Build-depends: github

Or from the command line:

cabal v1-install github

See the samples in the samples/ directory.

Note: some samples might be outdated.

For details see the reference documentation on Hackage.

Each module lines up with the hierarchy of documentation from the GitHub API.

Request functions (ending with R) construct a data type which can be executed in IO by executeRequest functions. They are all listed in the root GitHub module.

IO functions produce an IO (Either Error a), where a is the actual thing you want. You must call the function using IO goodness, then dispatch on the possible error message. Here's an example from the samples:

Many function have samples under samples/ directory.

{-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} import Prelude.Compat import Data.Text (Text, pack) import Data.Text.IO as T (putStrLn) import Data.Monoid ((<>)) import GitHub (github') import qualified GitHub main :: IO () main = do possibleUsers <- github' GitHub.usersFollowingR "phadej" T.putStrLn $ either (("Error: " <>) . pack . show) (foldMap ((<> "\n") . formatUser)) possibleUsers formatUser :: GitHub.SimpleUser -> Text formatUser = GitHub.untagName . GitHub.simpleUserLogin
