Getting data from GitHub Archive

Question

I tried to get historical data from GitHub Archive by entering http://data.githubarchive.org/2012-04-15.json.gz, but I got no data.

How do I get data about activity on GitHub?

You are missing the hour, sport. It is required.

@Steven Penny, did something change in the meantime? I get a `NoSuchKey: The specified key does not exist.` for `data.githubarchive.org/2012-04-11-{0..23}.json.gz`. The same for `data.githubarchive.org/2012-04-11-%7B0..23%7D.json.gz`. – Bogdan Vasilescu Jun 10 '13 at 12:49
That `{0..23}` syntax is for a shell like `bash` or `zsh` that will expand it in to 24 separate strings, like the `*` fileglob symbol. It's not a URL you can hit directly. – Andrew Janke Nov 18 '15 at 09:43
