I am trying to collect some statistics about our project repositories on GitHub. I am able to get total number of commits for each contributor , but it is for default branch.
curl https://api.github.com/repos/cms-sw/cmssw/stats/contributors
The problem is , how can i get the same info for non-default branches , where i can specify a branch name. Is any such operation possible using GitHub API ?
thanks.
You should be able to use GitHub's GraphQL API to get at this data, although it won't be aggregated for you.
Try the following query in their GraphQL Explorer:
query($owner:String!, $name:String!) {
repository(owner:$owner,name:$name) {
refs(first:30, refPrefix:"refs/heads/") {
edges {
cursor
node {
name
target {
... on Commit {
history(first:30) {
edges {
cursor
node {
author {
email
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
With these variables:
{
"owner": "rails",
"name": "rails"
}
That will list out each of the author emails for each of the commits of each of the branches in a given repository. It would be up to you to paginate over the data (adding something like cursor: "b7aa251234357f7ddddccabcbce332af39dd95f6" after the first:30 arguments). You'd also have to aggregate the counts on your end.
Hope this helps.

I'm creating a christmas summary for my team and I am trying to use githubs GraphQL Explorer over at https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer
I'm having some trouble to create the query I want to build. I'm trying to get contributions per repo for a user. Can anyone help out?
I tried to build upon a query I found online, but it only gave me per day.
I figured it out!
{
search(query: "org:test", type: REPOSITORY, last: 100) {
nodes {
... on Repository {
name
defaultBranchRef {
name
target {
... on Commit {
history(first: 100, since: "2013-07-11T00:00:00") {
totalCount
nodes {
... on Commit {
committedDate
additions
author {
name
email
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
With Github's GraphQL API I recently found "Github API: Getting topics of a Github repository" that mentions you can get a count of topics:
{
repository(owner: "twbs", name: "bootstrap") {
repositoryTopics(first: 10) {
edges {
node {
topic {
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
but in the docs and in my search I'm not finding how I can query repositories that do not contain the topic template, example:
query ($github_org: String!, $repo_count: Int!) {
organization(login: $github_org) {
repositories(first: $repo_count, privacy: PUBLIC, isFork: false) {
nodes {
id
name
openGraphImageUrl
createdAt
stargazerCount
url
description
repositoryTopics(first: 10, after: "template") {
edges {
node {
id
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
is the correct implementation to use after? In Github's GraphQL API how to exclude a repository if it contains a certain topic?
My understanding is that with the organization query you cannot do that kind of repository filtering.
Instead, you can use the search query with something like this:
query ($repo_count: Int!) {
search (first: $repo_count,
type: REPOSITORY,
query: "org:my-organization topic:my-topic") {
nodes {
... on Repository {
name
}
}
}
}
The above query searches for all repositories within a given organization that have a given topic.
But you were looking for the repositories without a topic, in theory according to the documentation you should be able to do that with -topic:my-topic. Unfortunately the negation on topic doesn't work, there seems to be a bug. :-(
I am trying to create a query to Github GraphQL API that receive a list of repos as a parameter, and returns the info of those repositories in a single API call, does anyone know how to do that?
Something like this (I know this doesn't work)
query myOrgRepos($repos: [String!]!) {
search(query:"""
repo in $repos
""", type: REPOSITORY, first: 100) {
repo: nodes {
... on Repository{
name
description
updatedAt
}
}
}
It took me some time to understand your comment so I will post the answer in full. The key is to use Github's advanced search “syntax” in the query string, see here for examples.
The following query will find all repositories of user “github” as well as the graphql-js repository of user “graphql”:
query {
search(query: "user:github repo:graphql/graphql-js" type: REPOSITORY first: 10) {
nodes {
... on Repository {
name
description
updatedAt
}
}
}
}
My understanding of your question is that you want to input a list of "known" repos and output information about them. In this case you can form a query of the following type.
{
nodes(ids: ["node_id_1", "node_id_2"]) {
... on Repository {
nameWithOwner
createdAt
}
}
}
Here the ids are the node_ids of the repositories you are interested in. You can obtain these by individual GraphQL calls as follows
{
repository(owner: "owner", name: "name") {
id
}
}
I'm trying to query GitHub's GraphQL API (v4). What GraphQL query for this API can be used to get all of the commits I've contributed to a particular public repo?
I figured out the solution. (The solution shown below is for getting relevant commits from master, but can easily be adapted for other qualifiedName values.)
First, perform an initial query to obtain user ID:
query {
viewer {
id
}
}
Then the following query can be used to get all contributed commits to a particular repository:
query($repository_owner:String!, $repository_name:String!, $user_id:ID!) {
repository(owner: $repository_owner, name: $repository_name) {
ref(qualifiedName: "master") {
target {
... on Commit {
history(author: {id: $user_id}) {
totalCount
nodes {
id
authoredDate
message
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
The query variables take the following form:
{
"repository_owner": "REPOSITORY_OWNER_STRING",
"repository_name": "REPOSITORY_NAME_STRING",
"user_id": "USER_ID_FROM_STEP_1"
}
I'm trying to use GitHub's GraphQL API to find a list of repos matching a query but limited to a specific language. However I can't find anything in the docs relating to the language filter the typical online search supports or how something like this is typically done with GraphQL.
{
search(query: "query", type: REPOSITORY, first: 10) {
repositoryCount
edges {
node {
... on Repository {
nameWithOwner
}
}
}
}
}
I'm almost guessing this isn't quite possible and I'm going to have to query for everything and filter on the client instead?
In the query parameter you can use the same format as Github search, filter language with language:LANGUAGE :
{
search(query: "language:java", type: REPOSITORY, first: 10) {
repositoryCount
edges {
node {
... on Repository {
nameWithOwner
}
}
}
}
}
