Graphql: accessing GitHub issue more then 100

Hi all,

I have developed in past an utils for maintaining opensource projects especially issues in GitHub.

As current limitation, the CLI can’t access more then 100 Issue. (GitHub - MalloZup/blacktango: console client for software maintainers · GitHub)

My question would be, do you know/ or have experience with the way for accessing all the issue in a project using Graphql?

Like if i would have 5000 issues, how would this work with Graphql GitHub

See my current query blacktango/lib/github/graphql.ex at master · MalloZup/blacktango · GitHub

Man are you lucky today. The GitHub GraphQL Explorer had one of my test queries from 2017 stored in my localstorage.

{
  repository (owner: "bolt", name: "bolt") {
    name
    issues (last: 5, before: "Y3Vyc29yOjIxMDI0NDc1NA==") {
      totalCount
      edges {cursor}
      nodes {
        number
        title
        comments (first: 5) {
          edges {cursor}
          nodes {
            body
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

the edges {cursor} is important because they give you the IDs for the before and after params.
As you can see in the query, I get some issues and then its comments. But the comments are also limited to a specific number so you have pagination there too.
(and comments have reactions (paginated) and issues have actions (opened, closed, etc. ) (paginated too)). It really is a mess if you want to grab everything :smiley:

The API supports pagination.

See Repositories - GitHub Docs

Scroll down to “issues”.

I’d imagine it’s a hard limit by GitHub to limit execution time of queries. If you need more use pagination to query the rest in addition requests.

The problem with the GitHub GraphQL API is, that your rate limit is very low and they got pagination for everything. I once tried to fetch all issues/pull requests with all its comments and actions to analyze the data and give the repository a “rating” based on maintainer reaction times. It’s impossible if you want to stay inside the rate limit and the complexity of the queries is also huge since you would have to deal with multiple paginations at once if you want to use the least amount of queries.
