GitHub GraphQL Queries

README.md

GitHub GraphQL is annoying AF.

These are some sample queries that I have needed to do and am logging it here so I don't forget them.

API endpoint: https://api.github.com/graphql, Method: POST. Authorization requires a Bearer token, and apparently: Personal access tokens with fine grained access do not support the GraphQL API... So that's lame! (as of November 2022)

fetch_latest_tag.graphql

# Fetch the newest tag for a repo:
{ 
  repository(owner: "ORG_NAME", name: "REPO_NAME") {
    refs(refPrefix: "refs/tags/", orderBy: {field: TAG_COMMIT_DATE, direction: DESC}, first: 1) {
      edges {
        node {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  } 
}

fetch_scim_details.graphql

# Fetch a user's SCIM username (I.e. their IDP email address) from their GitHub ID (for Orgs integrated with SAML):
{
   organization(login: "ORG_NAME") {
       samlIdentityProvider {
           externalIdentities(login: "GITHUB_USERNAME", first: 1) {
               nodes {
                   scimIdentity {
                       username
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
}
