User Contributions API #368

Open stuartpb opened 9 years ago

(as written to GitHub)

I wrote a script that checked https://github.com/users/stuartpb/contributions_calendar_data every day at 11:00 to warn me if I hadn't contributed anything for the day (https://www.onx.ms/#!recipeEditPage?scriptId=13807912484934586). That route is now returning a 404. What are my options now, short of scraping https://github.com/stuartpb?tab=contributions ?

I would also appreciate an API to contributions data. The GitHub contribution heatmap benefits me, although I'd prefer to pull that data into an app of my own so that I can balance it with similar graphs for other (not coding-related) personal goals. Because, as correctly pointed out in 627, occasionally it's healthy to do things that aren't coding.

Currently it looks like my best option is scraping the SVG, which I'm probably going to do. But I'd love to see a real contributions API, and even better an API that would support integration with apps like Done, Way of Life, or Productive.

Thanks!
