How to test an organization with Github's GraphQL API v4 in Postman?

Question

Trying to get an orgs private and public repositories in Postman I've attempted:

GET: https://api.github.com/graphql

Under Authorization selected:

Type: Basic Auth

I add my Github username to username and for password per the docs and I place my PAT. For testing purposes I've selected everything for token creation.

Under Body I have:

query:

query ($github_login: String!, $repo_count: Int!) {
  viewer {
    organization(login: $github_login) {
      login
      id
      location
      name
      url
      repositories(first: $repo_count, privacy: PRIVATE, isFork: false) {
        nodes {
          id
          name
          openGraphImageUrl
          createdAt
          stargazerCount
          url
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

variables:

{"github_login": "org-name", "repo_count": 100}

my Status is a 200 OK but my results are not repositories but instead a long listing of null:

                            "defaultValue": null
                        }

In my research I've read:

• How to use github graphql v4 api to query all repositories in my organization?
• Querying with GraphQL
• Postman Github API
• Introduction to GitHub GraphQL API
• How to create an issue on github using Postman with github api?

In Postman how can I get my org repositories with the Github API?

Answer 1

The viewer Graphql API returns the user which has been authenticated.

You should instead use the organization API to get the repo list.

Example Query

query ($github_login: String!, $repo_count: Int!) {
    organization(login: $github_login) {
      login
      id
      location
      name
      url
      repositories(first: $repo_count, privacy: PRIVATE, isFork: false) {
        nodes {
          id
          name
          openGraphImageUrl
          createdAt
          stargazerCount
          url
          description
        }
      }
    }
}

{"github_login": "org-name", "repo_count": 100}
