It provides a base library that handles GitHub-specific details without doing any I/O itself, letting you plug in whatever async HTTP client you prefer. On top of that base, it offers an abstract base class and concrete implementations for immediate usage.\n\nThe library is designed for developers who want to automate GitHub workflows, build bots, or integrate GitHub data into applications. It requires Python 3.8 or later and depends only on uritemplate and PyJWT for URL templating and JWT token handling. With 417 stars and active maintenance, it's a stable choice for GitHub API integration in async Python applications.","worth_installing":"Yes. Gidgethub is a stable, actively maintained library with low install friction and permissive licensing. It's well-suited for async Python applications that need to interact with the GitHub API. The sans-I/O design gives you flexibility to choose your HTTP client. No known vulnerabilities and broad Python version support (3.8\u20133.13) make it a reliable choice."},"id":"gidgethub","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gidgethub","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gidgethub.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gidgethub/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gidgethub","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An async GitHub API library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":618787,"position":5732,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.4.0"}
