APIv4 feature request: allow contributionsCollection to include private contributions

[craigfe]

The GraphQL API contains a contributionsCollection endpoint which is excellent for writing work reports:

query {
  viewer {
    contributionsCollection {
      pullRequestContributionsByRepository {
        repository {
          nameWithOwner
        }
        contributions {
          nodes {
            pullRequest {
              createdAt
              title
              url
            }
          }
        }
      }
}
}
}
 

To my knowlege, it is impossible to get this query to include private contributions, even when appropriately authenticated (although I can do things like counting the number of contributions that can’t be shown). This is corroborated by a recent answer on this forum. I feel that this would a really valuable feature to add, if possible.

Hi @craigfe,

Thank you for being here! As you mentioned this is not possible on v4 yet, I’ll be sure to pass it along to our team for consideration, in the meanwhile  you can use the REST API which allows you to list commits for a specific user:

Sorry I didn’t have better news, but please rest assured your feedback is correct hands.

For private repositories at contributionsCollection, the token must have read:user access.

It seems private repos are still missing from the contributions using the GraphQL API, even with a token having user:read access.
