GitHub wikis have no API #761

Open strugee opened 8 years ago

strugee commented 8 years ago

I'd like to programmatically retrieve and update GitHub wiki content. (From a Hubot, actually! Imagine that.)

However, AFAICT, there isn't an API to do this. I looked through developer.github.com as well as poked at api.github.com, and couldn't find anything. I ended up just cloning the wiki repository to a cache directory, but this is kinda unideal.

Please provide an API for GitHub wikis.

Update from GitHub support on 9/8/16:

Hey Alex,

Thanks for getting in touch! We think it would be a neat idea to update wikis through the GitHub API. We've added your idea to our internal Feature Request List so the team can see it. It might be something we support in the future, but we can't promise when it will happen.

If there's anything else you'd like to see improved, please feel free to write back!

All the best, GitHub Staff
