FAQ

About the GitHub User API

The AnyAPI GitHub User API returns GitHub user data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/github.user. Fetch a GitHub user's public profile by handle (name, bio, company, location, followers, and repo counts). AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of GitHub user calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.4 seconds across 2 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 user's public profile by handle (name, bio, company, location, followers, and repo counts). 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, 100.0% of GitHub user calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.4 seconds across 2 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
