How do you get author name?

[mzfr]

I am working on a tool similar to travis buddy. Travis doesn't provide the pull request author name by default: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/#Default-Environment-Variables

So, how does travis buddy figure out the user? (as seen in the screenshot)

Hey @mzfr,

Travis actually provides the author name in the payload, as seen in this example payload: https://github.com/bluzi/travis-buddy/blob/master/sample-payloads/payload2.json#L45

If a full name is not available, Travis will provide the nickname instead.

Hope this helps
