Notifications¶

This part of the documentation covers the notifications module which contains all of the classes used to represent notification objects in github3.py.

Notification Objects¶

class github3.notifications.Thread(json, session)¶

Object representing a notification thread.

Changed in version 1.0.0: The comment, thread, and url attributes are no longer present because GitHub stopped returning the comment that caused the notification.

The is_unread method was removed since it just returned the unread attribute.

This object has the following attributes:

id¶: The unique identifier for this notification across all GitHub notifications.

last_read_at¶: A datetime object representing the date and time when the authenticated user last read this thread.

reason¶: The reason the authenticated user is receiving this notification.

repository¶: A ShortRepository this thread originated on.

subject¶: A dictionary with the subject of the notification, for example, which issue, pull request, or diff this is in relation to.

unread¶: A boolean attribute indicating whether this thread has been read or not.

updated_at¶: A datetime representing the date and time when this thread was last updated.

as_dict()¶

Return the attributes for this object as a dictionary.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.loads(obj.as_json())

Returns:	this object’s attributes serialized to a dictionary
Return type:	dict

as_json()¶

Return the json data for this object.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.dumps(obj.as_dict())

Returns:	this object’s attributes as a JSON string
Return type:	str

delete_subscription()¶

Delete subscription for this thread.

Returns:	True if successful, False otherwise
Return type:	bool

classmethod from_dict(json_dict, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json_dict.

classmethod from_json(json, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json.

mark()¶

Mark the thread as read.

Returns:	True if successful, False otherwise
Return type:	bool

new_session()¶

Generate a new session.

Returns:	A brand new session
Return type:	`GitHubSession`

ratelimit_remaining¶

Number of requests before GitHub imposes a ratelimit.

Returns:	int

refresh(conditional=False)¶

Re-retrieve the information for this object.

The reasoning for the return value is the following example:

repos = [r.refresh() for r in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]

Without the return value, that would be an array of None’s and you would otherwise have to do:

repos = [r for i in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]
[r.refresh() for r in repos]

Which is really an anti-pattern.

Changed in version 0.5.

Parameters:	conditional (bool) – If True, then we will search for a stored header (‘Last-Modified’, or ‘ETag’) on the object and send that as described in the Conditional Requests section of the docs
Returns:	self

set_subscription(subscribed, ignored)¶

Set the user’s subscription for this thread.

Parameters:	subscribed (bool) – (required), determines if notifications should be received from this thread. ignored (bool) – (required), determines if notifications should be ignored from this thread.
Returns:	new subscription
Return type:	`ThreadSubscription`

subscription()¶

Check the status of the user’s subscription to this thread.

Returns:	the subscription for this thread
Return type:	`ThreadSubscription`

class github3.notifications.ThreadSubscription(json, session)¶

This object provides a representation of a thread subscription.

See also: developer.github.com/v3/activity/notifications/#get-a-thread-subscription

Changed in version 1.0.0: The is_ignored and is_subscribed methods were removed. Use the :attr`ignored` and subscribed attributes instead.

This object has the following attributes:

created_at¶: A datetime object representing the date and time the user was subscribed to the thread.

ignored¶: A boolean attribute indicating whether the user ignored this.

reason¶: The reason the user is subscribed to the thread.

subscribed¶: A boolean attribute indicating whether the user is subscribed or not.

thread_url¶: The URL of the thread resource in the GitHub API.

as_dict()¶

Return the attributes for this object as a dictionary.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.loads(obj.as_json())

Returns:	this object’s attributes serialized to a dictionary
Return type:	dict

as_json()¶

Return the json data for this object.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.dumps(obj.as_dict())

Returns:	this object’s attributes as a JSON string
Return type:	str

delete()¶

Delete this subscription.

Returns:	True if successful, False otherwise
Return type:	bool

classmethod from_dict(json_dict, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json_dict.

classmethod from_json(json, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json.

new_session()¶

Generate a new session.

Returns:	A brand new session
Return type:	`GitHubSession`

ratelimit_remaining¶

Number of requests before GitHub imposes a ratelimit.

Returns:	int

refresh(conditional=False)¶

Re-retrieve the information for this object.

The reasoning for the return value is the following example:

repos = [r.refresh() for r in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]

repos = [r for i in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]
[r.refresh() for r in repos]

Which is really an anti-pattern.

Changed in version 0.5.

Parameters:	conditional (bool) – If True, then we will search for a stored header (‘Last-Modified’, or ‘ETag’) on the object and send that as described in the Conditional Requests section of the docs
Returns:	self

set(subscribed, ignored)¶

Parameters:	subscribed (bool) – (required), determines if notifications should be received from this thread. ignored (bool) – (required), determines if notifications should be ignored from this thread.
