How can I use github api to get all tags or releases for a project?

问题

I would like to know how to use the github-api to get all the current releases or tags for a project. I have seen the documentation for tags in github-api but I don't see a way to list all tags or list all releases but only list a specific tag by :sha.

回答1:

It's possible, but the documentation is perhaps not in the place you'd expect it to be.

http://developer.github.com/v3/git/refs/

You can also request a sub-namespace. For example, to get all the tag references, you can call:

GET /repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/tags

This morning I received an answer to this same question that I posted to the github support team. Not sure how I can attribute the answer correctly but here is their response.

Quote from Ivan Žužak of Github support team

You can get a list of all tags for a repository using this API call:

http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-tags

So, for example, making the following cURL request will return the list of tags for the libgit2/libgit2 repository:

$ curl -v "https://api.github.com/repos/libgit2/libgit2/tags"

Note: for the releases specifically of a GitHub repo, you now have (since Sept. 25th, 2013), an api to list all the releases:

List releases for a repository

Users with push access to the repository will receive all releases (i.e., published releases and draft releases).
Users with pull access will receive published releases only.
```
GET /repos/:owner/:repo/releases
```

Get a single release

GET /repos/:owner/:repo/releases/:id

In v4, graphQL, you can use this query https://developer.github.com/v4/object/tag/

query {
  repository(owner: "onmyway133", name: "Scale") {
    refs(refPrefix: "refs/tags/", last: 2) {
      edges {
        node {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This will list all your Releases (tags) on Github. Might need to tweek the grep part depending on your tag naming conventions:

curl -s 'https://github.com/username/reponame/tags/'|grep -o "$Version v[0-9].[0-9][0-9]"

If cutting-n-pasting the URL from the "clone repo" section, remember to chop the.git off at the end of the address when constructing above URL- HTH- Terrence Houlahan
