Access to raw JSON for issues?

[io7m]

Hello.

I currently use the github-api package to maintain a local mirror of my repositories. I would like to be able to maintain a local copy of all issues, open or closed. Right now, I could use the API to pull a list of GHIssue objects and then manually serialize them all. However, this suffers from two problems: It's a maintenance burden, and I'd need to constantly check the API to ensure that new fields haven't been added that my manual serialization would otherwise miss. The github-api package obviously has access to the raw JSON, so is there any way that it could expose it so that I could write it directly to disk?

We don't keep JSON in memory, so you'd be better off making direct HTTP calls by using GHIssue.getApiURL().

OK, thanks.
