While using the GitHub Search API, some queries are incomplete. For instance, this one -
import requests
url = "https://api.github.com/search/code?q=torch +in:file + language:python&page=1&per_page=100"
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Token XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers).json()
try:
print(len(response['items']))
print("response = ", response)
except:
print("response = ", response)
*Note - The above code won't work as I have removed my token. Please replace the "xxx" with your GitHub token if you'd like to run the code.
This rarely returns 100 results. From previous SO posts, I understand this is due to the query timing out. However, in that case as per GitHub documentation, the returned result should indicate that the results are incomplete -
response = {'total_count': 6872903, 'incomplete_results': False, 'items' ...
Why is incomplete_results not set to True over here?
