IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's GitHub account once, then configure and run List Commits from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "github-list-commits",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    github: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    repoFullname: "Repository",
    sha: "Branch or SHA",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

List Commits inputs
Property Type Description
repoFullname Repository string
The repository in owner/repo format, for example PipedreamHQ/pipedream (not case sensitive). If you pass just a repository name with no owner (e.g. my-repo), the authenticated user is assumed as the owner — convenient for "my repo" requests. Do NOT repeat the repository name as the owner (e.g. my-repo/my-repo); if you don't know the owner, pass only the name or run List Repositories to find it.
Required
sha Branch or SHA string
Branch name (e.g. main) or commit SHA to start listing commits from. Defaults to the repository's default branch.
Optional
path Path string
Only commits containing this file path will be returned
Optional
author Author string
GitHub username or email address to use to filter by commit author.
Optional
committer Committer string
GitHub username or email address to use to filter by commit committer
Optional
since Since string
Only show results that were last updated after the given time. This is a timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Optional
until Until string
Only commits before this date will be returned. This is a timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Optional
maxResults Max Results integer
The maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 100.
Optional
