GraphQL: Get file content for a specific file in each repo

[rajbos]

I'm trying to get the data I want from an organization in one go and can't figure out how to filter the objects down to the two filenames I want: action.yml and action.yaml.

This is what I got so far:

query {
  organization(login:"actions") {
    repositories(first: 10) {
      nodes{
        name
        pushedAt
        object(expression: "HEAD:"){
          ... on Tree {
           entries {
            name
            type
            object {
              ... on Blob {
                byteSize
                text                
              }
            }
          } 
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Hi @rajbos, I believe this is the answer you are looking for.

query {
organization(login:"actions") {
repositories(first: 10) {
nodes{
name
content_a: object(expression: "HEAD:action.yml"){
... on Blob {
text
byteSize
}
}
content_b: object(expression: "HEAD:action.yaml"){
... on Blob {
text
byteSize
}
}
}
}
}
}

Yes it did! Thanks

Hey @byrneh thanks for your info it was very helpful. I wonder if there is a way to get back files that end with .yml instead of pulling the file only with specific names?

Hi, thanks for this thread, it helps a lot. Do you know how to put a default branch in the expression, so it works, instead of master, main or HEAD?

@maciekbanas You first need to fetch the default branch def , then again make a query

Thanks @Shibayan95 I had some hope it could go other way, as on GitLab, where you can define the branch in the file query.
