Dirty script for finding repos to archive

private_repos.py

import requests
import datetime
import sys

# Pass your OAuth token
token = sys.argv[1]

# Fetch all private repos (lazy - assumes only two pages)
headers = {'Authorization': 'token %s' % token}
response = requests.get(
    'https://api.github.com/orgs/tangentlabs/repos?type=private&per_page=100',
    headers=headers)
repos = response.json()
response = requests.get(
    'https://api.github.com/orgs/tangentlabs/repos?type=private&per_page=100&page=2',
    headers=headers)
repos.extend(response.json())

repo_meta = []
for repo in repos:
    last_push = datetime.datetime.strptime(
        repo['pushed_at'], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
    repo_meta.append((last_push, repo['name'], repo['html_url']))

repo_meta = sorted(repo_meta)

print "Private repos sorted by time since last push"
print "============================================"
for meta in repo_meta:
    print " - %s - last push: %s (%s)" % (
        meta[1], meta[0], meta[2])

Alternative approach to use authorisation:

requests.get(
    'https://api.github.com/orgs/tangentlabs/repos?type=private&per_page=100',
    auth=(token, 'x-oauth-basic'))
