Script Setup

Save the script below as invite_group_to_all_visible_repositories.py:

NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN = re.compile("&lt;([^&lt;&gt;]+)&gt;; rel=\"next\"")
def get_projects():
    projects = []
    response = get(f"{host}/api/v3/projects/all?order_by=id&amp;sort=asc", headers=headers)
    projects.extend(response.json())

    if "Link" in response.headers:
        match_result = NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN.search(response.headers["Link"])
        if(match_result):
            next_page_url = match_result[1]
        else:
            next_page_url = None
    else:
        next_page_url = None

    while next_page_url:
        response = get(next_page_url, headers=headers)
        if "Link" in response.headers:
            match_result = NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN.search(response.headers["Link"])
            if(match_result):
                next_page_url = match_result[1]
            else:
                next_page_url = None
        else:
            next_page_url = None
        projects.extend(response.json())

    return projects

payload = {
    "user_id": user_id,
    "access_level": 20
}

for project in get_projects():
    project_id = project["id"]
    project_name = project["name"]
    share_proejct_endpoint = host + f"/api/v3/projects/{project_id}/members"

    response = post(share_proejct_endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 201:
        print(f"user {user_name} is joined to {project_name}")
