UserScript to show Labels on Pull Requests

pull_request_labels.user.js

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Pull Request Labels
// @namespace   http://joshuaflanagan.com
// @include     https://github.com/*/*/pulls

$(function(){
  var $pull_requests = $(".pulls-list .list-browser-item h3");
  $pull_requests.each(function(){
    var pull_request = this;
    $(pull_request).addClass("issues-list"); // styling

    var $link = $("a:first", pull_request);
    var href = $link.attr("href");
    //ex: /user/repo/pulls/42
    var href_parts = href.split('/');
    href_parts[3] = "issues";
    var issue_href = href_parts.join('/');

    $.getJSON("https://api.github.com/repos" + issue_href, function(issue){
      $.each(issue.labels, function(l_i, label){
        // <span data-name="actionpack" class="label labelstyle-FFF700">actionpack</span>
        var new_elem = $('<span class="label">' + label.name + '</span>').
          css("background", '#' + label.color);
        $(pull_request).append(new_elem);
      });
    });

  });
});

This is a quick and dirty attempt at solving my own problem:

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with private repos. Not sure if there is any simple way to make authenticated GitHub API calls within a userscript. Might be better off changing it to load the Issue HTML pages and parsing them for the labels.

What about an intermediate service that coughs those up?

A little Heroku app to auth the request then forward it through with the private credentials?

@joshuaflanagan to make it work with private repo, create an access token in your account setting and add it in the query string as access_token. It obviously requires modifying the user script when installing it as you don't want to put an access token in the gist (and you cannot provide a way to configure it externally AFAIK)
