Support getting updated data from the GitLab API.

Opened this issue · 4 comments

Right now, the update.py program only supports pulling updates star count and activity data from the GitHub API, which means that any project hosted on GitLab (or another host, but we'll address that later) will be counted as having no stars and being inactive. Obviously this is wrong and ought to be corrected.

The solution would be to add code for requesting the relevant data from the GitLab API to the update.py program.

Right now it looks like this affects Inko and Iridium, which are both hosted on GitLab.

For Inko there's also a GitHub mirror (https://github.com/YorickPeterse/inko). While this isn't the canonical source (i.e. I don't accept pull requests there), it might be a simple temporary workaround to include Inko in the list again 😃

Hey good to know! Would you be willing to open a PR to make this change?
