Create an issue in any repository on Github and register it in the column of any project

It's just a work record. As far as I checked, I didn't have much information. I couldn't find an API library to play with Project. It would be spicy if there was.

Work below

First, get your Github token

Get the necessary information with curl It seems that api has to add a strange header like a trial period First, you need the id of the project and the id of the columns created by the project, so save it to get it.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json" -u "username:token" https://api.github.com/repos/Team name/Repository name/projects
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json" -u "username:token" https://api.github.com/repos/Team name/Repository name/projects/(The id of the project obtained above)/columns

Make a note of the id obtained here as it will be used in the following script. Also, it is easier to get a token of Authorization: Basic with wireshark or something. (I should encode username: token to base64, but I got bad because I got a communication.)

All you have to do is assign the required values to the script below.

Python version

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
import json
import sys

response = {}
ownr = ''
repo = ''
column_id = ''
issue_url = "https://api.github.com/repos/" + ownr + "/" + repo + "/issues"
project_url = "https://api.github.com/repos/" + ownr + "/" + repo + "/projects/columns/" + column_id + "/cards"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Basic base64 version username:token",
    "Accept": "application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}
argvs = sys.argv
"""---------------Create Issue---------------------"""
params = {"title": argvs[1]}
res = requests.post(issue_url, data=json.dumps(params), headers=headers)
"""---------Register created issue to Project------"""
params = {"content_id": int(res.json()['id']), "content_type": "Issue"}
res = requests.post(project_url, data=json.dumps(params), headers=headers)
print(res.status_code)

Go version

I didn't want to put token in plain text in the script, so I recreated it with Go so that it can be binarized and operated. (I'm not saying it's safe) Error handling is texto, so please do it well
