I'm trying to update my GitHub API wrapper, le-git (formerly
github-party), and I'm seeing some inconsistencies in the data I'm
getting back.
If I do a user search, a user has a name, which is their login (ie
technicalpickles). However, if I do a user show, a user has a name,
which is their actual name (ie Josh Nichols).
For example, here is a search for my account:
<users type="array">
<user>
<score type="float">4.0780807</score>
<name>technicalpickles</name>
<actions type="integer">500</actions>
<language>Ruby</language>
<followers type="integer">81</followers>
<username>technicalpickles</username>
<type>user</type>
<fullname>Josh Nichols</fullname>
<repos type="integer">60</repos>
<id>user-159</id>
<pushed>2009-06-08T20:15:13.854Z</pushed>
<created>2008-02-07T05:38:06Z</created>
<location>Boston, MA</location>
</user>
</users>
... compared to the show:
<user>
<name>Josh Nichols</name>
<company></company>
<following-count type="integer">52</following-count>
<public-gist-count type="integer">119</public-gist-count>
<public-repo-count type="integer">60</public-repo-count>
<blog>http://technicalpickles.com</blog>
<id type="integer">159</id>
<followers-count type="integer">81</followers-count>
<login>technicalpickles</login>
<location>Boston, MA</location>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<created-at type="datetime">2008-02-06T21:38:06-08:00</created-at>
</user>
Was this intentional? If not, is it possible to make it more consistent?
