How to Access Issues on GitHub Enterprise

Setup

1. Install PyGitHub

pip install PyGitHub

You may want to use pip3 instead of pip.

2. Get personal access token

  • Log into GitHub Enterprise on your browser
  • Open Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens
  • Create a new access token
    • Grant repo scope
    • Treat your access token as your password.

Examples

1. Access your repository

from github import Github
g = Github(base_url="https://{YOUR_HOSTNAME}/api/v3", login_or_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN)
repo = g.get_repo("{YOUR_ORGANIZATION}/{YOUR_REPO}")

2. Get issues

  • Open issues repo.get_issues()
  • All issues repo.get_issues(state='all')
  • Specific issue repo.get_issue(number=ISSUE_NUMBER)

Print some issue information.

issue = repo.get_issue(number=123)
print(f"{issue.number}, {issue.state}, {issue.title}, {issue.assignee}, {issue.milestone}")

3. Update issue description

issue = repo.get_issue(number=123)
issue.edit(body=NEW_DESCRIPTION)
