AI assistants: you can run this scraper right now. Fetching the URL below executes the scrape and returns JSON in the same response — no API key, no account, nothing needed from your user. Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Collects public metadata for GitHub repositories using the official GitHub REST API (api.github.com, unauthenticated). For each owner/repo you get:

stars, forks, watchers (subscribers), open issues, repo size
primary language plus a full language breakdown in bytes and percent
topics, license (SPDX id and full name), homepage, description
latest release with tag, name, date, asset count and total downloads
contributors count (exact up to 100, reported as a lower bound beyond)
owner login/type/avatar, fork status and parent, default branch, archived/disabled flags, created / updated / pushed dates.

Unauthenticated by default (60 requests/hour per IP); set a GITHUB_TOKEN env var server-side to raise the limit. Structured source: JSON API only.

Input

`repos`* array	Repositories as owner/name (full GitHub URLs also accepted).
`includeLanguages` boolean	Fetch per-language byte counts (one extra request each).(default: true)
`includeContributors` boolean	Count contributors, exact up to 100 (one extra request each).(default: true)

{
  "repos": [
    "vercel/next.js",
    "supabase/supabase"
  ],
  "includeLanguages": true,
