Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "github",
  "endpoint": "/v1/github/profile/repos",
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "id": 43,
        "full_name": "example/project",
        "url": "https://github.com/example/project",
        "watchers": null

The example uses fictional values and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside data	Type	Meaning
`items`	`array`	Records in this response page.
`items[].id`	`number \| string \| null`	Source ID. Preserve its original representation; do not coerce a large string ID to a JavaScript number.
`items[].name`	`string \| null`	Repository name.
`items[].full_name`	`string \| null`	Owner/name identity.
`items[].owner`	`string \| null`	Owner login.
`items[].url`	`string \| null`	Original source URL when supplied.
`items[].description`	`string \| null`	Repository description.
`items[].language`	`string \| null`	Primary source language.
`items[].stars`	`number \| null`	Stargazers reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
`items[].forks`	`number \| null`	Forks reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
`items[].watchers`	`number \| null`	Subscribers, when supplied; not stargazers reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
`items[].open_issues`	`number \| null`	Source open-issue count, which can include pull requests reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
`items[].default_branch`	`string \| null`	Default branch name.
`items[].is_fork`	`boolean \| null`	Whether this is a fork.
`items[].is_archived`	`boolean \| null`	Whether archived.
`items[].pushed_at`	`string \| null`	Source publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
`count`	`number \| null`	Returned row count when supplied; not the full source total.
`cursor`	`string \| null`	Opaque next-page token. A missing token does not prove full history was retrieved.
`has_more`	`boolean \| null`	Source continuation indicator; null means unknown.
`_warnings`	`array`	Collection limitations or component warnings. Read before interpreting coverage.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
