GitHub repo data: stars, forks, release

$0.002 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

GitHub repository data in one call: stars, forks, watchers, open issues and pull requests, main language and language shares, topics, license, default branch, created and last-push dates, archived and fork flags, and the latest release with its tag and date. Give owner/name or a github.com URL; public repositories only, no user profile data. Use to vet a dependency, check whether a project is alive, compare libraries or enrich a list of repos.

Try it with your own inputs

Repository as owner/name, e.g. vercel/next.js, or its github.com URL

Uses one of your 25 free calls. Nothing is charged, and a call that fails is not counted.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/github/repo?repo=vercel%2Fnext.js"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/github/repo?repo=vercel%2Fnext.js&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
