GitHub Repository Traffic Analyzer

This project provides a Python script to fetch and display traffic data (views and clones) for all repositories of a specified GitHub user. It utilizes the GitHub API to gather information on how many people viewed and cloned each repository.

Features

• Fetch a list of all repositories for a specified GitHub user.
• Retrieve traffic views and clones for each repository.
• Display the traffic data for easy analysis.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• A GitHub personal access token with appropriate permissions to access repository data.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
   cd your-repo-name

2. Install required Python packages:

   This script requires the requests library. You can install it using pip:

   pip install requests

Setup

1. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token:

   • Go to your GitHub account.
   • Navigate to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens.
   • Generate a new token with the repo scope.

2. Update the script with your credentials:

   Replace the placeholders in the script with your actual GitHub token and username:

   GITHUB_TOKEN = "YOUR-API-KEY"
   USERNAME = "YOUR-USER-NAME"

Usage

1. Run the script:

   Execute the Python script to fetch and display the traffic data:

   python script_name.py

2. Output:

   The script will output the repository names, along with their traffic views and clones, in the terminal:

   Repository: repo-name
   Views: {'count': X, 'uniques': Y}
   Clones: {'count': X, 'uniques': Y}
   -------------
   

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter issues with API access, ensure your GitHub token has the correct permissions.
• API rate limits may apply. If the script fails due to rate limits, wait and try again later.
