# Interacting with GitHub
|
|
|
|
Probot uses [GitHub Apps](https://developer.github.com/apps/). An app is a first-class actor on GitHub, like a user (e.g. [@defunkt](https://github.com/defunkt)) or an organization (e.g. [@github](https://github.com/github)). The app is given access to a repository or repositories by being "installed" on a user or organization account and can perform actions through the API like [commenting on an issue](https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/comments/#create-a-comment) or [creating a status](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/statuses/#create-a-status).
|
|
|
|
Your app has access to an authenticated GitHub client that can be used to make API calls. It supports both the [GitHub REST API](https://developer.github.com/v3/), and the [GitHub GraphQL API](https://developer.github.com/v4/).
|
|
|
|
## REST API
|
|
|
|
`context.github` is an instance of the [`@octokit/rest` Node.js module](https://github.com/octokit/rest.js), which wraps the [GitHub REST API](https://developer.github.com/v3/) and allows you to do almost anything programmatically that you can do through a web browser.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of an autoresponder app that comments on opened issues:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
module.exports = robot => {
|
|
robot.on('issues.opened', async context => {
|
|
// `context` extracts information from the event, which can be passed to
|
|
// GitHub API calls. This will return:
|
|
// {owner: 'yourname', repo: 'yourrepo', number: 123, body: 'Hello World!}
|
|
const params = context.issue({body: 'Hello World!'})
|
|
|
|
// Post a comment on the issue
|
|
return context.github.issues.createComment(params)
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [full API docs](https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/) to see all the ways you can interact with GitHub. Some API endpoints are not available on GitHub Apps yet, so check [which ones are available](https://developer.github.com/v3/apps/available-endpoints/) first.
|
|
|
|
## GraphQL API
|
|
|
|
> **Heads Up!** GraphQL support in Probot is currently a preview feature and this interface could change in a future releases without notice. [Let us know](https://github.com/probot/probot/issues/476) if you have any feedback or ideas to improve GraphQL support.
|
|
|
|
Use `context.github.query` to make requests to the [GitHub GraphQL API](https://developer.github.com/v4/).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of the same autoresponder app from above that comments on opened issues, but this time with GraphQL:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// GraphQL query to get Node id for any resource, which is needed for mutations
|
|
const getResource = `
|
|
query getResource($url: URI!) {
|
|
resource(url: $url) {
|
|
... on Node {
|
|
id
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
`
|
|
|
|
// GraphQL query to add a comment
|
|
const addComment = `
|
|
mutation comment($id: ID!, $body: String!) {
|
|
addComment(input: {subjectId: $id, body: $body}) {
|
|
clientMutationId
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
`
|
|
|
|
module.exports = robot => {
|
|
robot.on('issues.opened', async context => {
|
|
// Get the node id of the issue
|
|
const { resource } = await context.github.query(getResource, {
|
|
url: context.payload.issue.html_url
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Post a comment on the issue
|
|
await context.github.query(addComment, {
|
|
id: resource.id,
|
|
body: 'Hello World'
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check out the [GitHub GraphQL API docs](https://developer.github.com/v4/) to learn more.

## GitHub Enterprise
|
|
|
|
If you want to run a Probot App against a GitHub Enterprise instance, you'll need to set the `GHE_HOST` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GHE_HOST=fake.github-enterprise.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> GitHub Apps are enabled in GitHub Enterprise 2.12 as an [early access technical preview](https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.12/apps/).
