I have been looking for a better way to automatically upload a new or existing file to my repository. The following code can only update an existing file (not a big deal for me now) and does not work on with a big file.
def push_to_github(filename, repo, branch, token):
url="https://api.github.com/repos/"+repo+"/contents/"+filename
base64content=base64.b64encode(open(filename,"rb").read())
data = requests.get(url+'?ref='+branch, headers = {"Authorization": "token "+token}).json()
sha = data['sha']
if base64content.decode('utf-8')+"\n" != data['content']:
message = json.dumps({"message":"update",
"branch": branch,
"content": base64content.decode("utf-8") ,
"sha": sha
})
resp=requests.put(url, data = message, headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "token "+token})
print(resp)
else:
print("nothing to update")
token = "lskdlfszezeirzoherkzjehrkzjrzerzer"
filename="foo.txt"
repo = "you/test"
branch="master"
push_to_github(filename, repo, branch, token)
This code gives me the following error:
KeyError: 'sha'
but it works fine on a small file.
When I try to run data variable in the code, I get the following message, which makes me think that I need a different way to accept a bigger file of 60 Mbs even way more.
{'message': 'This API returns blobs up to 1 MB in size. The requested blob is too large to fetch via the API, but you can use the Git Data API to request blobs up to 100 MB in size.', 'errors': [{'resource': 'Blob', 'field': 'data', 'code': 'too_large'}],
'documentation_url': 'https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#get-repository-content'}
Does anyone know how to handle this? It's been hard for me to follow the suggested link.
