Accessing github from static webpage

Question

I'm trying to write a static web page that will pull all the current pull requests in a github repo and display them. I would like to use octokit.js But that's for node.js. Is there a straightforward way to make authenticated calls to a github repo form a static webpage?

GitHub's API is very open. You can just fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/pulls') . https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#list-pull-requests

Do note that there is a limit on un-authenticated requests, but you shouldn't need to worry about that.

Run the example below to see a list of current pull requests against Node.js core.

 fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/nodejs/node/pulls') .then((r) => r.json()) .then((pulls) => { pulls .map((p) => `[${p.number}] ${p.title} (${p.html_url})`) .forEach((s) => console.log(s)); });
