cenkalti / github-flask

@cenkalti Sounds great example! Do you have API reference document with detailed introduction about flask_github.GitHub.get ? As you know it only returns 30 records by default in first page, trying to leverage this method for all pagination records instead to write own.

If you pass all_pages=True, the library will fetch all of the pages.

github-flask/flask_github.py

Line 250 in a65bae8

def request(self, method, resource, all_pages=False, **kwargs):

👍

@cenkalti When I call request(self, method, resource, all_pages=False, **kwargs), terminal console will get 404: not found if GitHub API return empty sometime, I know it goes to following lines:
if not is_valid_response(response):
raise GitHubError(response)
Is it possible to catch the GitHubError exception like 404, 409 ? And how to catch different exception so that I can do conditional check? for example
try: request()
except [how to get 404 here]: do something
Thanks!

You can capture GitHubError and inspect status code attribute.

try:
    ...
except GitHubError as e:
    if e.response.status_code == 404:
        # handle 404
    raise

@cenkalti Thanks for your reply! I tried but not work as expected here:
except GitHubError as e:
NameError: global name 'GitHubError' is not defined

Put it at the top of your file:

from flask_github import GitHubError
