Example

Let’s try to read the download count of a release package stored on GitHub for analysis in leona. The call looks like this:

$ curl -XGET https://api.github.com/repos/YourAccount/YourRepo/releases/assets/12345
{
  "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/YourAccount/YourRepo/releases/assets/12345",
  "id": 12345,
  "name": "somerelease.tgz",
  "label": "somerelease.tgz",
  "content_type": "application/octet-stream",
  "state": "uploaded",
  "size": 38179285,
  "download_count": 9937,
  "created_at": "2013-09-30T20:05:01Z",
  "updated_at": "2013-09-30T20:05:46Z"
}
