FAQ

About the GitHub Repository API

The AnyAPI GitHub Repository API returns GitHub repository data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/github.repository. Fetch a GitHub repository's metadata by URL (stars, forks, language, topics, license, and timestamps). AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 92.9% of GitHub repository calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 0.9 seconds across 14 measured calls.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet, each call draws it down, and a failed request costs $0.

Fetch a GitHub repository's metadata by URL (stars, forks, language, topics, license, and timestamps). The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 92.9% of GitHub repository calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 0.9 seconds across 14 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
