GitHub REST API

Technical Preview

Overview

A client-mode connector for a curated eight-operation slice of the GitHub REST API: rate limit, the authenticated user, repositories, issues, pull requests, and Actions workflow runs. It is meant for edge or IT-ops demos, not the full GitHub surface. Prefer a fine-grained personal access token with least privilege.

GET /rate_limit can return HTTP 200 without a token. Authenticated connectors need a PAT. An invalid Bearer token returns HTTP 401. Unauthenticated calls to other public connectors may return HTTP 403 when the IP is rate limited.

Basic Syntax

# Coreflux REST_API template — GitHub REST
# Generated from curated OpenAPI; credentials are placeholders only.
# Docs: https://docs.coreflux.org/latest/lot-language/routes/rest-api-routes
# Auth: Bearer PAT / fine-grained token via {value.json.api_token}. Prefer Hub secrets.
# Optional: ADD "X-GitHub-Api-Version" "2022-11-28" on events if you pin an API version.

Auth

Bearer token plus the GitHub media type:

ADD "Accept" "application/vnd.github+json"
ADD "Authorization" "Bearer {value.json.api_token}"

string

required

Classic or fine-grained PAT. Publish it as api_token. Prefer a Hub secret. Never commit the token.

string

Repository owner. Required on repo, issue, pull, and Actions events.

string

Repository name. Required with owner.

Optional header on each event: X-GitHub-Api-Version 2022-11-28. Rate limit or authenticated user:

{"api_token": "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT"}

List issues:

{"api_token": "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT", "owner": "octocat", "repo": "Hello-World"}

Create issue (connector body is {payload}; include title and body):

{"api_token": "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT", "owner": "OWNER", "repo": "REPO", "title": "From Coreflux", "body": "Opened via REST_API route"}

Try it

Add the connector on your broker.
Publish the token JSON to integrations/github/request/Getratelimit or integrations/github/request/Getauthenticateduser.
Subscribe to the matching integrations/github/response/... topic.
Issues: publish api_token, owner, and repo to integrations/github/request/Listissues.
