Github authentication and configuration

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Github agent connector.

Authentication

Open source execution

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
access_token	str	Yes	OAuth 2.0 access token

from airbyte_agent_github import GithubConnector
from airbyte_agent_github.models import GithubOauth2AuthConfig

connector = GithubConnector(
    auth_config=GithubOauth2AuthConfig(
        access_token="<OAuth 2.0 access token>"
    )
)

Token

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
token	str	Yes	GitHub personal access token (fine-grained or classic)

from airbyte_agent_github import GithubConnector
from airbyte_agent_github.models import GithubPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig

connector = GithubConnector(
    auth_config=GithubPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig(
        token="<GitHub personal access token (fine-grained or classic)>"
    )
)

Hosted execution

In hosted mode, you first create a connector via the Airbyte API (providing your OAuth or Token credentials), then execute operations using either the Python SDK or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

OAuth

Create a connector with OAuth credentials:

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Github",
    "name": "My Github Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "access_token": "<OAuth 2.0 access token>"
    }
  }'

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials:

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Github",
    "credentials": {
      "token": "<GitHub personal access token (fine-grained or classic)>"
    }
  }'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using either the Python SDK or API.

Python SDK

from airbyte_agent_github import GithubConnector

connector = GithubConnector(
    external_user_id="<your-scoped-token>",
    airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
    airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@GithubConnector.describe
async def github_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/connectors/sources/<connector_id>/execute' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'
