alt Hacker NewsI'd use their "firehose" API if I were doing it: <https://docs.github.com/en/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2...> and <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/events.html#list-a-projects-v...>
I don't have experience to know if that's cheaper (for the hoster) than just periodically calling the $(git fetch --mirror) endpoint. I could see opening a conversation with the major providers asking which they would prefer, since it's in everyone's best interest to not unduely hammer them
Excellent thank you. Those look like events on a specific resource rather than “firehose” which sounds more like a global events list. Everything GitHub has a quota so there’s no way companies are staying under the normal 5000 or 15000 limit to fetch all of the changes!
