How do I resolve the 404 error that I'm getting from the Github API?-CodePudding

I'm trying to pull the contributor stats from a public github repo. I followed every step mentioned in their documentation but I keep getting a 404 error. Does someone happen to know what the issue is?

This is my python script:

import requests
import json


url = "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/stats/contributors"

url = url.format(OWNER="cosmos", REPO="ibc-go")

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/vnd.github json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer <MY-TOKEN>",
    "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28"
}

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = r.json()
print(r.status_code)
#print(data)

CodePudding user response：

change

url = "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/stats/contributors"

url = "https://api.github.com/repos/{OWNER}/{REPO}/stats/contributors"

as url.format ir str.format is not replacing the OWNER AND REPO in the url string

It worked for me when I made @sahasrara62's change and also commented out the "Authorization..." line (apparently it's not needed for this endpoint), the result looks like this:

[{'total': 1, 'weeks': [{'w': 1612656000, 'a': 0, 'd': 0, 'c': 0}, ....
