Notes

No account is needed for public repositories. A missing or private repo, path, issue or user (an organization too, for getUser) answers class: "input". Unset fields are absent.

  • searchRepos: page 1 (10), best match, not stars; <em> marks matched words in description. Logged-out search is rate-limited: space calls out.
  • getRepo follows renames (facebook/react -> react/react); an unrecognized license is "Other"; releases counts published releases, not tags.
  • listIssues / listPullRequests: page 1 (25), newest first. query defaults to is:issue state:open / is:pr is:open; pass a whole filter keeping is:issue / is:pr. state is GitHub's enum (REPO_ISSUE_STATE_CLOSED, REPO_ISSUE_PULL_REQUEST_STATE_MERGED...).
  • listDirectory takes a nonempty path (not the root); getFile returns the blob's lines (none for binary or large files; check truncated). Both take ref, default HEAD (default branch).
  • listReleases: page 1 (10); status is a label (Latest, Pre-release), not a boolean.
  • getUser: one item; counts are display strings (330k); pinned repos are names only.
  • getIssue: the main post in Markdown and the comment count, not the thread.
  • Trending: since defaults to daily, empty language means all; counts are display strings.
  • getLanguages: GitHub's rounded percentages, with an Other group when present.

About these operations

Each operation is a request learned from GitHub's own web pages: API Anything replays it over plain HTTP and falls back to a browser when it must. Read them as JSON.
