Using Github APIs to pull posts and to convert them to blog posts

First, create a new personal access token to authenticate the api request. Otherwise, you will be hit by the rate limit.

Documentation

Github has collections of restful APIs, very well-documented.

Get Repository Content

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.github.com/repos/andrewchaa/iwrite/commits?path=building-a-simple-cli.md' \

This will get the content as Base64String. I used a library, Refit, to call the api in C#

public interface IGithubApi
{
    [Get("/repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path}")]
    Task<IApiResponse<IEnumerable<PostResponse>>> GetRepositoryContents(string owner,
        string repo,
        string path);

    [Get("/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits?path={path}")]
    Task<IApiResponse<IEnumerable<CommitResponse>>> ListCommits(string owner,
        string repo,
        string path);
}
