SPIKE: Test retrieving data from github API

[Ryan-Andrews99]

What:

Getting specific data github api and documenting the process to allow it to be reproduced. This documentation should include any specific information around rate limits and authentication.

Why:

This will allow me to retrieve data from github, and potentially format it in a way that is useful. This will allow me to further repeat this programatically.

How (ACs/ Tech notes):

When: A GET request is made to the GitHub API

I: receive the requested data

And: This process is documented somewhere accessible

Notes: For this we need to see the feasibility of getting the following data via the github API:

• What languages are they written in?
• What package managers are they using?
• What versions of languages are they using?
• What dependencies do they use?

I think in our chat last week we saw that you'd made good progress here. Remember to update your ticket or put a sentence or two on where you are up to, it'll help you resume after a week off the project and document all your hard work.

I think reviewing the board in general we're getting down to our last few days of learning time. Now's the time to be brutal with the scope and think about what you can achieve with limited time.

Can also create a "won't do" column and move anything across there that's now out of scope, and focus on the things that you can make a real difference on in 3 days!
