How to retrieve git commit history for specific time period with cURL?

Question

I am trying to retrieve commit history as JSON and output in a txt file.

Answer 1

You can use since and until parameters to get commits only for specific time period:

curl https://api.github.com/repos/username/repo/commits?since=2016-11-01T00:00:00Z&until=2016-11-01T23:59:59Z

For details: See api doc .
