A Python-based scraper to download all issues and pull-requests from a GitHub repository.
Stores the issues and pull-requests as JSON files.
pipx install git+https://github.com/agateau/ghi-scraper
To avoid getting rate-limited: create a GitHub token (it only needs the "read repo" permission), store it in $GITHUB_TOKEN.
Run the scraper:
ghi-scraper user/repo where/to/store/the/files
If you plan to run this regularly, you can use the --since argument to reduce traffic and avoid getting rate-limited:
# Scrap since an absolute date
ghi-scraper user/repo where/to/store/the/files --since 2022-12-02
# Scrap all changes of the last 2 days
ghi-scraper user/repo where/to/store/the/files --since 2d
# Scrap all changes of the last 6 hours
ghi-scraper user/repo where/to/store/the/files --since 6h
