github-webhook-types 0.0.1a1

TypedDict and Pydantic models for GitHub webhook payloads.

github-webhook-types

TypedDict definitions and Pydantic models for GitHub webhook payloads.

The package generates its public payload types from Octokit's machine-readable webhook schema. The schema JSON is not vendored in this repository; generated metadata records the upstream package versions and SHA256 hashes used to create the committed Python modules.

Install

pip install github-webhook-types

Usage

from github_webhook_types import GitHubEventName, parse_delivery
from github_webhook_types.generated.models import IssuesOpenedPayload
from github_webhook_types.generated.typed_dicts import IssuesOpenedPayloadDict

event: GitHubEventName = "issues"
payload = parse_delivery(event, b'{"action": "opened", "repository": {}, "sender": {}, "issue": {}}')

typed_payload: IssuesOpenedPayloadDict = {
    "action": "opened",
    "repository": {},
    "sender": {},
    "issue": {},
}
model = IssuesOpenedPayload.model_validate(typed_payload)

parse_delivery() dispatches by X-GitHub-Event and, when present, the payload action. Unknown GitHub fields are accepted by the generated Pydantic models so new fields do not immediately break consumers.

Type Source

Generated payload types come from:

• https://unpkg.com/@octokit/webhooks-schemas/schema.json
• https://unpkg.com/@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json

The current source metadata is exported from github_webhook_types.generated._schema_meta.

Development

pdm install
pdm run generate
pdm run quality
pdm run docs:build
pdm run docs:preview
pdm run docs:dev

Use pdm run generate:check to verify that the committed generated files still match the current Octokit schema metadata. Use pdm run docs:preview to serve the built site/ directory, and pdm run docs:dev for Zensical's live docs server.
