Option to include "other" languages in total time stat

[Eroxl]

I would really appreciate the option to be able to include the other languages in my coding stats for my profile. It's not a large change in the times but I would like it to have all of my coding time included in it.

This should be pretty easy to implement by using human_readable_total_including_other_language instead of human_readable_total if the parameter is provided.

Not sure what a great name for the parameter is but something like this.

with:
          WAKATIME_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.WAKATIME_API_KEY }}
          SHOW_TOTAL: true
          INCLUDE_OTHER_TIME_IN_TOTAL: true

I would like to implement this if it sounds all right.

If you use more than 5 languages WakaTime puts them in a key called Other, which is displayed like...

Python     27 hrs 29 mins  ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀   77.83 %

Other      35 mins         ⣦⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀   01.68 %

Then there is an environment variable INPUT_SHOW_TOTAL that you can set to get the total time.

Total: 34 hrs 43 mins

I'm not sure I follow your doubt...

Sorry I think I worded it funny. Right now SHOW_TOTAL currently pulls from human_readable_total which doesn't include languages that Wakatime can't classify. I just want to add an option so you can chose to pull from human_readable_total_including_other_language see how I have around 6 hrs that Wakatime couldn't classify in the screen shot right now.

Is this API endpoint documented? Can't seem to find it here: https://wakatime.com/developers/

Neither is it visible anywhere in the official client code https://github.com/search?q=org%3Awakatime+human_readable_total_including_other_language

[Eroxl]

@joe733 I don't think it's documented but it's the same endpoint as right now just another field.

And neither is the field being used right now https://github.com/search?q=org%253Awakatime+human_readable_total&type=discussions

I'm not really sure how any of this is relevant? If you check the response from the current endpoint it responds with both fields even though neither are documented.

[yozachar]

Well human_readable_total is documented, or at least shown in examples, but human_readable_total_including_other_language is not. Apparently the latter shows up in GitHub code search results 571 times. That's pretty good usage count for an undocumented API field.

Anyway, I'll look into this.
