Example lgtm.com_credentials.json

{
  "api_version": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",

    "nonce": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "long_session": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",

You can intercept the lgtm.com session values from Chrome WebDev tools (and similar) after you've logged into lgtm.com (see below for tutorial).

As for the GitHub token, one with zero permissions is advised (i.e. all scope checkboxes non-selected). You can create a new token here: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

[Chrome] Where to find the lgtm.com API credentials

1. Got to https://lgtm.com/ and signup/login.

2. After you're logged in, open the Chrome DevTools > Network tab:

   

3. Reload lgtm.com.

4. Set filter to XHR:

   

5. Click on an API request:

   

6. Go to the Headers tab and scroll to the Request Headers section:

   

7. Copy the values into your lgtm.com_credentials.json file:

   • You can find the api_version in highlighted point 2 in the above image.
   • You can find the session.nonce in highlighted point 5 in the above image.
   • You can find the session.long_session in highlighted point 4 in the above image.
   • You can find the session.short_session in highlighted point 3 in the above image.

NOTES

• The api_version is a value that changes from time to time.
• If you get a ... resp.error="bad request"; resp.message="api_mismatch", it means it's time to go look for the new api_version value from lgtm.com.

Unfollow all followed projects

lgtm unfollow-all

List all followed projects

lgtm followed

Follow all projects of a specific language (experimental)

lgtm follow-by-lang --limit=101 python

Follow all projects from a specific search query on repository metadata

Results are limited (by the GitHub API) to the first 1K items.

For query syntax, see : https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/searching-for-information-on-github/searching-for-repositories

NOTE: lgtm.com does not support fork scanning, so to get more relevant repositories, it's always advised to include fork:false in your search query.

lgtm follow-by-meta-search --limit=101 'jquery "hello world" in:name,description language:javascript fork:false'

Follow all projects from a specific code search query

Results are limited (by the GitHub API) to the first 1K items.

Follow GitHub repositories that match your provided code search query.

Experimental commands

Get results from a query ID

lgtm x-list-query-results XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Examples

Get projects name

lgtm x-list-query-results XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | jq -r '.[].Project.displayName'

List project URLs of projects that have at least one result in the query run

lgtm x-list-query-results XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --min-results=1 |  jq -r ".[].Project.externalURL.url"

List project URLs of projects that have at least one alert in the query run

lgtm x-list-query-results XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --min-alerts=1 |  jq -r ".[].Project.externalURL.url"

---

Known errors

Cannot get list of followed projects

Multiple commands do some checks and optimizzations that rely on getting the list of followed projects.

When you follow many projects (a few thousands, probably about 5K or more), the lgtm.com API endpoint that lists followed projects does timeout.

To overcome that, you can use the --ignore-followed-errors flag to use alternative methods to complete the command.

Example:

lgtm --ignore-followed-errors unfollow kubernetes/kubernetes

This of course won't work for commands like lgtm followed or lgtm unfollow-all.
