How to create recipe from GitHub repo release with a specific release version/tag?

[sugatoray]

This is currently available: it allows one to use the latest release.

grayskull pypi https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python

✋ How can you create a recipe for a specific release version (with a tag preferably)?

🔥 Is there something like the following that could be used?

grayskull pypi https://github.com/{{ OWNER }}/{{ REPO }} --tag {{ TAG }}

Example:

OWNER="sugatoray"
REPO="genespeak"
TAG="v0.0.9"
grayskull pypi https://github.com/${OWNER}/${REPO} --tag ${TAG}

Notes

I see that the code tries to download the sdist package from this URL.

https://api.github.com/repos/{{ USER }}/{{ REPO }}/releases/latest

According to GitHub API docs the following returns the release information with a specific tag.

https://api.github.com/repos/{{ USER }}/{{ REPO }}/releases/tags/{{ TAG }}

Example

Here we look at the json output returned by GitHub API for genespeak repository. Both of the following two methods will yield the same output (release info for v0.0.9 as on 2022-04-26).

Currently, there is no way to do that directly. That is an improvement that can be done, @ForgottenProgramme
However, what you can do is you download the sdist locally and pass the local sdist to grayskull
