Good day seniors,
Even though I am new to mining of repositories, I have a task to complete within two days, and I have been sleeping behind my system to get this thing done. I want to extract some metrics that are important to the bug fixing process of Pytorch and Tensorflow. I understand that the Number of comments, Number of commits, Number of contributors, and duration of the issues to be resolved are all important to this process. But Python is throwing error that some of the listed items are not part of the issues object. Please how else can I go about it?
Thanks.
Adekunle Ajibode It appears that you are attempting to extract information from the Pytorch and Tensorflow repositories' GitHub Issues, but are receiving difficulties because some characteristics (e.g., number of comments, number of contributions) are not available in the issues object.
One solution is to utilize the GitHub API to obtain extra information about the problems. The API allows you to obtain information about a single issue, such as comments, commits, and contributors. You may use the API to get extra information and mix it with the information from the problem object.
To perform the API call, you may use the Python module "requests." After installing it, you can use it to make a GET request to the GitHub API to obtain data about the problems. Then, using the json() function, you can parse the answer and retrieve the data you want.
You may also obtain the data via the GitHub REST APIs, and you can learn more about how to use them by reading the GitHub REST API documentation.
Another option is to utilize a Python library designed expressly for mining GitHub repositories, such as PyGithub, GitPython, and so on. These libraries provide a straightforward and easy method to access the GitHub API and can assist you in extracting the data you want without the need for programming.
To utilize the API, you must first register a GitHub account and then create a personal access token. You must also verify the API's limitations to ensure that you do not exceed the rate restriction.
I hope this information assists you in extracting the data you require. Feel free to seek assistance if you run across any specific problems.
