Lazy Mode ========= In lazy mode, getting a PyGithub object does not send a request to the GitHub API. Only accessing methods and properties sends the necessary requests to the GitHub API: .. code-block:: python # Use lazy mode g = Github(auth=auth, lazy=True) # these method calls do not send requests to the GitHub API user = g.get_user("PyGithub") # get the user repo = user.get_repo("PyGithub") # get the user's repo pull = repo.get_pull(3403) # get a known pull request issue = pull.as_issue() # turn the pull request into an issue # these method and property calls send requests to Github API issue.create_reaction("rocket") # create a reaction created = repo.created_at # get property of lazy object repo # once a lazy object has been fetched, all properties are available (no more requests) licence = repo.license All PyGithub classes that implement ``CompletableGithubObject`` support lazy mode (if useful). This is only useful for classes that have methods creating, changing, or getting objects. By default, PyGithub objects are not lazy.
