# GitHub Data Data Source ⛔

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CURRENTLY SA4 ONLY**\
This datasource will be completely redesigned for SA5.
{% endhint %}

This module wraps the unsecured Github API to extract basic tag information about the specified public repository.

## Use Cases

1. Determine the tags that have been published
2. Identifying the most recent tag details, for reference in documentation

## Sample Data <a href="#results" id="results"></a>

Here's an example output of the APIs JSON.

With this, we can identify that the most recent version is `v3.371`.

## Code example

Here's an example that loads the userOrg and repo from HTML inputs, retrieves the Github data and then displays it.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```html
<script type="module">
import { getGithubRepoTagsUrl, getGithubRepoTags, getGithubRepoTagLatest } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/sygnaltech/webflow-util@4.11/src/datasources/github-data.min.js'; 

// On page load, load the github info
$(function () { 

  // Show the raw JSON response
  getGithubRepoTags($("#userOrg").val(), $("#repo").val()) 
    .then((res) => { 
      $("#json1").text( JSON.stringify( res, null, 2 // pretty print ) ); 
    }, (err) => { 
      console.log(err); 
    }); 
    
  // Show the latest tag version only
  getGithubRepoTagLatest($("#userOrg").val(), $("#repo").val()) 
    .then((res) => { 
      $("#latest1").text( res ); 
    }, (err) => { 
      console.log(err); }); 
    }); 
    
});
</script>
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-data/future/data-sources-external/github-data-data-source.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
