Instead of building URL strings and managing headers manually, you write `client.repos.owner.name.issues.get()` and agithub handles the HTTP details\u2014serializing parameters, encoding URLs, and returning status and response body as a tuple.\n\nThe package ships with implementations for GitHub, Facebook, DigitalOcean, OpenWeatherMap, and SalesForce, but its core design is protocol-agnostic: you can add support for any REST API with minimal code. It handles GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH requests, accepts custom headers and query parameters as function arguments, and exposes response headers via `getheaders()`. Errors are passed through transparently\u2014networking exceptions bubble up normally, and API errors appear in the response status and body, letting you handle them directly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight, syntax-transparent REST client for prototyping or simple integrations with GitHub or other public APIs. No, if you require active maintenance, modern Python-only support, or expect bug fixes\u2014the package is dormant (last release 2019-11-12) and shows no signs of active development. It is stable and permissively licensed, but treat it as a mature, frozen tool rather than an actively supported library."},"id":"agithub","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/agithub","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/agithub.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/agithub/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-11-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"agithub","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A lightweight, transparent syntax for REST clients"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73643,"position":14958,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.2"}
