Learn about ghapi, a new third-party Python client for the GitHub API

Fast.ai has launched ghapi, a Python library and command-line interface (CLI) designed to provide comprehensive and consistent access to the entire GitHub API. Developed by Jeremy Howard and Hamel Husain, ghapi addresses the complexities and limitations of using GitHub's API by offering features like tab-completion, integrated documentation, and automatic handling of pagination, headers, and queries. It enables developers to automate and customize workflows efficiently using Python, bypassing the need for multiple languages and complex setups. Ghapi utilizes GitHub's OpenAPI specification to dynamically generate methods, offering a lean and efficient alternative to traditional REST API libraries. It simplifies the process of managing GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and actions, integrating seamlessly with Python's dynamic capabilities to streamline development and reduce boilerplate code.
