octonode is a Node.js library wrapping the GitHub v3 REST API, providing clients for users, repos, orgs, issues, pull requests, gists, search, and more. It supports token authentication, GitHub Enterprise hosts, proxies, and conditional requests for rate-limit-friendly caching.
Use cases
- access the github api from nodejs
- list a user's repositories programmatically
- create issues and pull requests via the github api
- authenticate a github cli or desktop app with oauth
- query github enterprise api from node
- search github repos and users from a script
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, mature Node.js wrapper for the GitHub v3 API
- you want simple token-based auth and GitHub Enterprise support
- you prefer callback-style clients over heavier SDKs
When to avoid
- you need GitHub's newer REST API versions or GraphQL API
- you prefer a promise/async-await-first client like Octokit
- you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
