`gidgethub.apps` — Support for GitHub App

New in version 4.1.0.

Changed in version 5.0.1: The machine-man-preview header was removed from the API endpoint.

This module is to help provide support for GitHub Apps.

Example on how you would obtain the access token for authenticating as a GitHub App installation:

from gidgethub.apps import get_installation_access_token

private_key = """-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
zBgqFIin/uQEb0he006F9pNC6Kga0AMY5b0cCdZ4ge9qyFro2eVA
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
"""

access_token_response = await get_installation_access_token(
    installation_id=123,
    app_id=456,
    private_key=private_key
)

data = await gh.getitem("/rate_limit", oauth_token=access_token_response["token"])

gidgethub.apps.get_installation_access_token(gh, *, installation_id, app_id, private_key)

:async:

Obtain a GitHub App’s installation access token.

installation_id is the GitHub App installation’s id.

app_id is the GitHub App’s identifier.

private_key is the content of the GitHub App’s private key (.PEM format) file.

It returns the response from GitHub’s Authenticating as an installation API endpoint.

gidgethub.apps.get_jwt(*, app_id, private_key)

Construct the JWT (JSON Web Token), that can be used to access endpoints that require it.

Example:

from gidgethub.apps import get_jwt

private_key = """-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
zBgqFIin/uQEb0he006F9pNC6Kga0AMY5b0cCdZ4ge9qyFro2eVA
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
"""

token = get_jwt(app_id=123, private_key=private_key)
data = gh.getitem(
    "/app/installations",
    jwt=token,
)
