Prints the labels from a GitHub repository, one per line.

# This requires the Requests module, which is a 3rd-party module: python-requests.org
# Install with: `pip install requests`

            # loop will continue looping with it.
        else:

            # Now the `response` variable is None, so the `while response`

url = "https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io/labels"

for label in paginated_get(url):
    print(label.get('name'))

If you want to genericize the snippet, you could change line 28 to match GitHub's sample syntax for labels.

So:

# Replace the values of :owner and :repo as needed
url = "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/labels"
