Github API.js

An in-browser, javascript based wrapper for the Github API to retrieve repository release data. This library has no external dependencies.

Live demo

See a live demo with repo version and last updated timestamp - async from the Github API: http://robotsbigdata.com

Include the github_api.js source file (or minified version) in your html page

<script src="dist/github_api.min.js"></script>

Create a new GithubApi object and pass in the user and repo names:

var api = new GithubApi({user: "alextaujenis", repo: "RobotsBigData"});

Then fetch the repo release data:

api.version(function(attributes) {
  alert(api.repo + " v" + attributes.tag_name + " last published " + attributes.published_at);
});
