I am trying to get the list of issues by their ids from Github using graphql, but looks like I am missing something or its not possible.
query ($ids:['517','510']!) {
repository(owner:"owner", name:"repo") {
issues(last:20, states:CLOSED) {
edges {
node {
title
url
body
author{
login
}
labels(first:5) {
edges {
node {
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
The above query is giving me response as below,
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Parse error on \"'\" (error) at [1, 14]",
"locations": [
{
"line": 1,
"column": 14
}
]
}
]
}
Kindly help me identify if its possible or that I am doing something wrong here.
You can use aliases in order to build a single request requesting multiple issue
object :
{
repository(name: "material-ui", owner: "mui-org") {
issue1: issue(number: 2) {
title
createdAt
}
issue2: issue(number: 3) {
title
createdAt
}
issue3: issue(number: 10) {
title
createdAt
}
}
}
which gives :
{
"data": {
"repository": {
"issue1": {
"title": "Support for ref's on Input component",
"createdAt": "2014-10-15T15:49:13Z"
},
"issue2": {
"title": "Unable to pass onChange event to Input component",
"createdAt": "2014-10-15T16:23:28Z"
},
"issue3": {
"title": "Is it possible for me to make this work if I'm using React version 0.12.0?",
"createdAt": "2014-10-30T14:11:59Z"
}
}
}
}
This request can also be simplified using fragments to prevent repetition:
{
repository(name: "material-ui", owner: "mui-org") {
issue1: issue(number: 2) {
...IssueFragment
}
issue2: issue(number: 3) {
...IssueFragment
}
issue3: issue(number: 10) {
...IssueFragment
}
}
}
fragment IssueFragment on Issue {
title
createdAt
}
The request can be built programmatically, such as in this example python script :
import requests
token = "YOUR_TOKEN"
issueIds = [2,3,10]
repoName = "material-ui"
repoOwner = "mui-org"
query = """
query($name: String!, $owner: String!) {
repository(name: $name, owner: $owner) {
%s
}
}
fragment IssueFragment on Issue {
title
createdAt
}
"""
issueFragments = "".join([
"""
issue%d: issue(number: %d) {
...IssueFragment
}""" % (t,t) for t in issueIds
])
r = requests.post("https://api.github.com/graphql",
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"
},
json = {
"query": query % issueFragments,
"variables": {
"name": repoName,
"owner": repoOwner
}
}
)
print(r.json()["data"]["repository"])
