Hey @tapaswenipathak something like this already exists, do we need to reinvent the wheel?
PyGithub https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html , It doesn't support GitLab as the name suggest.. should we work on Gitlab API wrapper on similar pattern as PyGithub? that would become a nice project.. only will require time.. since the library is huge.

Hello! Does this solve our work? Anything which solves our work works; on you now. Let me know if you wanna discuss anything.

a lot of features are available in this library, features which are missing can be added using actual github api.. so basically yes our work will be solved... also I am currently being specific to github only.

@tapaswenipathak for this should I write output as organized json?

[tapaswenipathak]

Host on herokuapp. Yea, APIs output should be JSON.

API Wrapper

[tapaswenipathak]

Hello! We require a generic wrapper, only GitHub?

[bymayanksingh]

@tapaswenipathak there are no good libraries present for GitLab typed interactions in python.

[tapaswenipathak]

We should be creating then, multiple libraries can be implemented in 1 flask app. What all are there?

[bymayanksingh]

on seeing PyGithub I realized that it is very huge and covers almost every features of GitHub API, if we go on implementing PyGitlab kind of library, certainly it will be useful, but covering it as PyGithub will be time heavy..like really time heavy.
