Github Client

An HTTP Client to Github API in pure Erlang.

• Read-only end-points (GET)
• rate limited client

Usage

1. Create a new read-only token using your Github Account Developer Settings

2. Save this token in a safe place.

3. Export this token in your current session or you can set it directly from the application if needed.

   export GITHUB_TOKEN="github_fake_11AAWYNWA033xsTk1RMLUx_Y9ScUJGAPhnWKWbXX03M05QA84y1g7va"

   os:putenv("GITHUB_TOKEN", "github_fake_11AAWYNWA033xsTk1RMLUx_Y9ScUJGAPhnWKWbXX03M05QA84y1g7va").
   application:set_env(github, token, "github_fake_11AAWYNWA033xsTk1RMLUx_Y9ScUJGAPhnWKWbXX03M05QA84y1g7va").

4. Fetch some data. By default, all requests are stored in github_cache Mnesia table.

   github:get_repos_url(<<"https://github.com/erlang-punch/awesome-erlang">>,#{}).
