Hi Animesh, You're on the right track in using the API for getting data from github. I've written a wrapper already that covers some parts of the github api, but far from all of it. You can see the code here: https://github.com/samth/github.rkt and you can install it with `raco pkg install github`. Like I said, there's lots missing there, and so I'd love help in filling out more of the API -- I've really only written the parts I've needed in the past.
