### Simple Github API made with C language.

##### _Please do not do pull requests, rather comment in issues._

##### _The code is in pretty bad structure. If you find any better solutions, do pull requests_

It works briefly for now.

**JSON support**: \

  - is in jsonfind.h header file \

  - for now contains only two functions: \

    - _int jsonfindpairindex(const char* data, const char* key)_ \

      - it finds pair index of given pair key \

      - returns -1 if it can't find \

    - _char* jsongetpairvalue(const char* data, const int pairindex)_ \

      - it finds pair value based on pair index \

      - returns NULL if it doesn't succeed \

  - I will add more function to jsonfind.h soon.

**Base64 encryption**: \

  - is in base64.h header file \

  - got from https://nachtimwald.com/2017/11/18/base64-encode-and-decode-in-c/, slightly modified \

  - offers you some functions, important two are *base64_encode()* and *base64_decode()*, both accept _char*_ as input. \

**Github API**: \

  - is in githubapi.h header file \

  - requires linking curl to work. if you want to lecture me on how to make a library out of my project, \

    do comment in issues. \

  - every function you need to pass a _struct requestdata_ data type \

    - _struct requestdata_ contains: \

      - _char* token_ \

      - _char* link_ \

  - provides you with some basic functions: \

    - init ones: \

      - _void initrequest()_ initialization \

      - _void settoken(struct requestdata* data, const char ntoken[])_ sets the authentication token, \

        https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens \

      - _void setlink(struct requestdata* data, const char nowner[], const char nrepo[])_ sets owner and repo to write in \

    - freeing ones: \

      - _void cleanrequest()_ cleans curl \

      - _void freetoken()_ frees token \

      - _void freelink()_ frees repo and owner \

    - usage ones: \

      - _char* getfile(struct requestdata* data,const char* path)_ \

      - _char* createfile(struct requestdata* data, const char* path, const char* message, const char* content)_ \

      - _char* updatefile(struct requestdata* data, const char* path, const char* message, const char* content, const char* sha)_ \

      - _char* deletefile(struct requestdata* data, const char* path, const char* message, const char* sha)_ \

      - additional sha argument is needed, you get it by using getfile() and then obtaining the sha value \

        using jsonfind.h functions. it is shown in example main file

**Strnstr**: \

  - we should not forget about that! it is licensed, I got it from somewhere \

  - details in strnstr.h header file

That was it! Farther details are shown in example main file. \

This project will get updated, fixed over time.
