Hello, I am learning python for quite some time now and I thought about a project regarding some GitHub analysis. Then I thought why not create a GitHub client as a PyPI package and use that in my CLI app instead of services in form of requests/httpx.
My question is that when I thought about it I realised GitHub is for a lot of endpoints returning paginated results and there might be a huge amount of rows if I were to call the API in a loop and it is not a good idea to save it in a list. Then I found out about generators but I do not know much about it and decided I wanna ask here before I fall in some kind of a rabbit hole.
I would be really glad to hear some thoughts about how this pagination/big amount of API results problems are handled. I would like to achieve to create a package that calls certain GitHub API endpoints and have the ability to somehow utilize async, deal with pagination correctly and fetch and analyze everything without running out of memory . (for the requests I am using httpx)
