PGCAW: The Python Github Calendar API Wrapper

PGCAW is a very simple API wrapper for the github contributions calendar. The wrapper supports extracting data about any given users contribution history, such as total contributions in the last year and daily contribution numbers.

Installation

The recommended way to install PGCAW is using pip.

pip install pgcaw

Usage

To gather data about a specific Github user you first need to create a Contributions instance, initialized with the given users username.

>>> import pgcaw
>>> contributions = pgcaw.Contributions("CGodiksen")

Using this instance you can now get data related to the users Github calendar.

>>> contributions.total()
1758
>>> contributions.daily()
[(datetime.date(2020, 12, 20), 1), (datetime.date(2020, 12, 21), 1), (datetime.date(2020, 12, 22), 16)]

Notice that daily() returns a list of tuples with the format [(date, number_contributions_on_date)].

The class also contains some utility methods used to extract further information from the contributions graph.

>>> daily = contributions.daily()
>>> contributions.current_streak(daily)
(23, datetime.date(2020, 1, 12), datetime.date(2020, 12, 23))
>>> contributions.longest_streak(daily)
(105, datetime.date(2020, 8, 10), datetime.date(2020, 11, 23))

Note here that both current_streak() and longest_streak() returns a tuple with the format (streak_length, from_date, to_date).
