Hey hey! 👋 Reporting in for our next API and Webhooks Community Check-In ✅

🧠​​ Pros in the Community

Big Kudos to these Superstar Community Contributors 👏

• Superstar contributor @LangLangBart helped a user figure out how to retrieve a user’s status via GraphQL and using Python: users api status. @LangLangBart has been a consistent contributor in this category so I’d like to extend a special shout out to them! Thank you :)
• Do you have multiple GitHub accounts (for example, one for personal projects and another for work or school?) and would like to know how to seamlessly switch between them? Check out @andrej-kocijan answer to @scath999 question here: Multiple Accounts?

  • Note that having multiple personal accounts is against GitHub’s terms of service

• Right on time for spooky season! We had @ghost answer @PiresHagan’s question How to set the env for Webhook on Github. Note that, if you see @ghost around participating in posts, don’t be afraid! It’s simply a placeholder account that takes the place of user accounts that have been deleted 👻

For community members who post questions, marking responses that solves your question as the answer goes a long way. When you mark a comment in the Discussion as an answer, GitHub will highlight the comment and replies to the comment to help other community members quickly find the answer as well.

Remember to thank these and other community members that take the time to comment and help troubleshoot these problems. An acknowledgement of a job well done can have an incredible effect and make someone’s day. ☀️ We’re here to learn, discover and connect so try and mark a comment as an answer if suitable, give a thank you and select a reaction as a way to show your appreciation!

👂Help us improve the GitHub Community!

🗞️What’s New?

• Dependency Graph, Dependabot Alerts, and Advisory Database now support Swift advisories - Starting today, you will now receive Dependabot alerts for vulnerabilities associated with your Swift dependencies.
• Speaking of Dependabot, Dependabot updates drop support for Python 3.6 and 3.7 - As of August 17, 2023, Dependabot updates no longer support Python 3.6 or 3.7, which have reached their end-of-life. If your code uses these versions, Dependabot will no longer be able to open pull requests in your repository and will log errors. Update to at least Python 3.8 to ensure your code is secure and Dependabot can still run.
• Rate limit for the audit log API endpoints - Recognizing the audit log API's importance as a data source to enterprises, each audit log API endpoint will impose a rate limit of 15 queries per minute per enterprise or org starting August 1st, 2023.
• Are you a Rust fan? In Why Rust is the most admired language among developers we dive into how (and why) Rust is stealing the hearts of developers around the world.
