I stumbled on GitHub GraphQL today and at first glance, it seemed to me I could do more with it than I already do with their regular RESTful API. I created some Adapters in my existing application and managed to authenticate Users based on a Personal Access Token without much trouble.
Going further, I tried then list Followers, Followees and Blocked Users:
query GetFollowers {
user(login: "username") {
followers(first: 100) {
nodes {
login
name
avatarUrl
}
}
}
}
Obviously, replacing
username
with a real GitHub username
However, I couldn't find a way to list the Blocked Users, which is something I can do with the RESTful API. Reading the (extensive) documentation, the closest I could build was:
query GetBlockedUsers {
node(id: "node_id") {
... on UserBlockedEvent {
subject {
avatarUrl
login
name
}
}
}
}
This not only didn't work — or, at least, didn't yield any results — but would also require an extra step when requesting the endpoint, as I would first need to retrieve the node_id
of a given username:
Yes, there are some Users blocked on my list :Þ
query GetUserID {
user(login: "username") {
id
}
}
Is it possible to list/add/remove Users to the Blocked List with their GraphQL API? Preferably, but not required, in one single query, filtering by username instead of this node_id
Thank you for your time :D
