How to create and use a GitHub REST API Service Client in Python?

Question

I'm new-ish to Python. I spend a fair of time working with the Azure Python SDK's. There is a pattern in these SDK's that works well for me. I want to duplicate the pattern below using the GitHub REST API, but can't find a GitHub "Service Client" or the like in the API docs.

There is an idea of RestClient in the docs, but its server code, not REST API syntax.

How do I create a service client one time, then use it for multiple REST calls?

Example Azure Python SDK pattern:

1. Create a client to interact with a specific service

   • Feed the connection string, api key, credential, etc. one time

2. Pass the client to other functions throughout the program

from azure.data.tables import TableClient

def create_table_service(conn_string, table_name):
    try:
        table_service = TableClient.from_connection_string(conn_string, table_name)
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f'##### Error creating Table Service Client: {e}')
    return table_service


def update_feed_states(table_client, table_name, entity):
    try:  
        test = table_client.insert_or_replace_entity(table_name, entity)
        return test
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f'##### Could not insert or update in : {table_name}: {e}')
        raise e

#----------------------------------------------

conn_string = '<connection-string-here>'
table_name = '<table-name-here>'

entity = {
    'PartitionKey': 'foo',
    'RowKey': 'bar',
    'last_mod': '10/22/22'
}

#------------------------------------------------------

table_client = create_table_service(conn_string, table_name)

table_updates = update_feed_states(table_client, table_name, entity)
