Should I build a GitHub App or use OAuth?

GitHub Apps are recommended for integrations. They have granular permissions, higher rate limits, and install at the org level. OAuth apps authenticate as users.

How do you handle GitHub API rate limits?

GitHub Apps get 5000 requests/hour per installation. We implement conditional requests, GraphQL batching, and caching to stay within limits.

Can you build custom GitHub Actions?

Yes. We build JavaScript and Docker-based custom actions for CI/CD, testing, deployment, and notification workflows.

Automate Developer Workflows With GitHub API

Bookuvai integrates GitHub REST and GraphQL APIs for repository automation, PR workflows, issue tracking, and GitHub Actions.
