Working with the GitHub Topic API

[RichardLitt]

GitHub's topic API is useful, but limited. Right now, you can only get and set topics for a specific repository.

https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-all-topics-for-a-repository

It would be great to build a tool that will get all topics for an organization, or for GitHub as a whole. At the moment, there is no API available for their suggestions on GitHub.

To Do

• Talk to GitHub and find out how we can get access to their prediction algorithm. Perhaps a new API?

@RichardLitt - please check this out https://github.com/fabric8-analytics/fabric8-analytics-tags for some handy tags. You can also check https://github.com/fabric8-analytics/fabric8-analytics-tagger for implementation

Hey @miteshvp! Thanks. Yeah, I saw that - opened a ticket in #7 to take a look at fabric8-analytics. It doesn't look like you have topics for GitHub, right?

@RichardLitt - we do not have marked explicit topics mentioned on Github, but the tag list is more of a superset of Github topics
