Scraper is a tool for scraping and visualizing open source data from GitHub.
Code.gov is a newly launched website of the US Federal Government to allow the People to access metadata from the governments custom developed software. This site requires metadata to function, and this Python library can help with that!
To get started, you will need a GitHub Personal Auth Token to make requests to
the GitHub API. This should be set in your environment or shell rc file with
the name GITHUB_API_TOKEN:
$ export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=XYZ
$ echo "export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=XYZ" >> ~/.bashrc
To generate a code.json file for your GitHub organization:
$ pip install -e .
$ scraper --agency <agency_name> --github-orgs <list of github org usernames ...>
# Example
$ scraper --agency DOE --github-orgs llnl
A full example of the resulting code.json file can be found
here.
Scraper is released under an MIT license. For more details see the LICENSE file.
