Gists
Verwende die REST-API, um die öffentlichen Gists auf GitHub aufzulisten, zu erstellen, zu aktualisieren und zu löschen.
Informationen zu Gists
Du kannst die REST-API verwenden, um Gists anzuzeigen und zu ändern. Weitere Informationen zu Gists findest du unter Bearbeiten und Freigeben von Inhalten mit Gists.
Authentifizierung
Du kannst öffentliche Gists anonym erstellen. Aber du musst bei GitHub angemeldet sein, um Gists erstellen zu können. Um Gists im Auftrag eines Benutzers zu lesen oder zu schreiben, benötigst du den OAuth-Bereich für Gist und ein Token. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Bereiche für OAuth-Apps.
Abschneiden
Die API bietet bis zu 1 Megabyte an Inhalten für jede Datei im Gist. Jede Datei, die für ein Gist über die API zurückgegeben wird, hat einen Schlüssel namens truncated
. Wenn truncated
gleich true
ist, ist die Datei zu groß, sodass nur ein Teil des Inhalts in content
zurückgegeben wurde.
Wenn du den gesamten Inhalt der Datei benötigst, kannst du die Anforderung GET
an die durch raw_url
angegebene URL stellen. Beachte, dass du bei Dateien mit einer Größe von mehr als 10 Megabyte das Gist über die von git_pull_url
angegebene URL klonen musst.
Außerdem wird nicht nur der Inhalt einer bestimmten Datei abgeschnitten, sondern die gesamte Dateiliste, wenn die Gesamtanzahl 300 Dateien überschreitet. Wenn der Schlüssel auf oberster Ebene truncated
gleich true
ist, werden nur die ersten 300 Dateien in der Dateiliste angezeigt. Wenn du alle Dateien des Gists abrufen möchtest, musst du das Gist über die von git_pull_url
angegebene URL klonen.
Benutzerdefinierte Medientypen für Gists
Dies sind die unterstützten Medientypen zum Abrufen von Gist-Inhalten.
application/vnd.github.raw
application/vnd.github.base64
Weitere Informationen findest du unter Medientypen.
List gists for the authenticated user
Lists the authenticated user's gists or if called anonymously, this endpoint returns all public gists:
