github3.py is a comprehensive Python wrapper library for the GitHub REST API (v3), providing an ergonomic, object-oriented interface to GitHub resources. It supports Python 3.7+ and pypy3 and is actively maintained with a BSD-3-Clause license.
Use cases
- interact with the github api from python
- automate github repository management
- list issues and pull requests via a script
- authenticate and act as a github app or user
- query github data without writing raw http requests
When to choose
- you want a stable, well-documented Python client for the GitHub REST API
- you need ergonomic object-oriented access to repos, issues, PRs, and users
- you prefer a mature library with long-term maintenance over raw requests calls
When to avoid
- you need the newer GitHub GraphQL API rather than REST v3
- you want an async-first client
- you only need simple unauthenticated requests and prefer minimal dependencies
