**Githon** is a python library that provides a GitHub REST API v3 Data Scraping.

With this library you can:
- Request user data through username or user ID
- Control request errors easily
- Use Application tokens or Personal User tokens to request data
- Reduce spending on your requisition limit

## Installation
Run the command:

```
pip install githon
```

## How to use
Import the **GithubApi** class and create an object. Optionally pass an access token to constructor.

```
>>> from githon import GithubApi
>>> gh = GithubApi('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN')
```

> **NOTE**: With access_token, your rate limit will be 5000 requests per hour. If you don't provide an access_token, your number of requests will be limited to 60 requests per hour, according with GitHub REST API v3 docs.
See more in https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limitingUse.
