GitHub GraphQL API Starred Repositories With Pagination

GitHub GraphQL API Starred Repositories Examples With Pagination

You can play with the GraphQL API live here. It's pretty nice and has autocompletion based on the GraphQL schema.

The first example gets your first 3 starred repos, the cursor values can be used for pagination.

Here's an example response from the first query:

{
  "data": {
    "viewer": {
      "login": "obahareth",
      "name": "Omar Bahareth",
      "starredRepositories": {
        "edges": [
          {
            "cursor": "Y3Vyc29yOnYyOpLOAKYOHs4Apg4e",
            "node": {
              "id": "MDEwOlJlcG9zaXRvcnkxMjcyMzQx",
              "name": "google-spreadsheet-javascript",
              "primaryLanguage": {
                "id": "MDg6TGFuZ3VhZ2UxNDA=",
                "name": "JavaScript",
                "color": "#f1e05a"
              }
            }
          },
          {
            "cursor": "Y3Vyc29yOnYyOpLOAKYOH84Apg4f",
            "node": {
              "id": "MDEwOlJlcG9zaXRvcnk2ODEwMTQw",
              "name": "howdoi",
              "primaryLanguage": {
                "id": "MDg6TGFuZ3VhZ2UxNDU=",
                "name": "Python",
                "color": "#3572A5"
              }
            }
          },
          {
            "cursor": "Y3Vyc29yOnYyOpLOALeGxM4At4bE",
            "node": {
              "id": "MDEwOlJlcG9zaXRvcnkzNDE2MjY=",
              "name": "octopress",
              "primaryLanguage": {
                "id": "MDg6TGFuZ3VhZ2UxNDE=",
                "name": "Ruby",
                "color": "#701516"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

If we add in the third cursor's value as the second example's after, we'll get the next 3 starred repositories after it.

e.g. starredRepositories(first: 3, after: "Y3Vyc29yOnYyOpLOALeGxM4At4bE")

query {
viewer {
login
name
starredRepositories(first: 3) {
edges {
cursor
node {
id
name
primaryLanguage {
id
name
color
}
}
}
}
}
}
query {
viewer {
login
name
starredRepositories(first: 3, after: "put_in_a_cursor_value_here") {
edges {
cursor
node {
id
name
primaryLanguage {
id
name
color
}
}
}
}
}
}
