events list api about go-github HOT 5 CLOSED

Are you talking about this endpoint: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-public-events ?

If so, the public events list is a firehose, and there are probably better ways to consume this streaming data than through this API endpoint. It will constantly be changing every time you call it. Why they support pagination at all is beyond me... probably for historical reasons.

Depending on your use case, you may wish to contact GitHub technical support directly and ask if there are better ways for you to stream this massive amount of data.

Feel free to report back here any findings you learn.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue for now but we can re-open it if there are any issues that need resolving.
