GitHub API guide

Quickstart
Start with GitHub
Resolve a public account, choose a repository and inspect issues or pull requests. Keep repository identity and issue number together when following a discussion.
These requests use your API key and can spend credits. Check the current price on the endpoint page; each new page is a separate request. Later examples use illustrative identifiers: replace them with values from your earlier response.
1. Read the account
Retain the returned handle and account type. Public profile fields can be absent. Parameters and current cost →
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/github/profile?handle=vercel" \ -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
2. Choose a repository
Take a repository URL from the result; name alone is not globally unique. Parameters and current cost →
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/github/profile/repos?handle=vercel&type=owner&sort=updated" \ -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
3. Collect issues
Replace the example repository URL with your selected result. Preserve issue URLs for issue/comments. Parameters and current cost →
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/github/repo/issues?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Fnext.js&type=issue" \ -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
Filters and coverage
Choose filters with the source behavior in mind
| Control | Behavior and limits |
|---|---|
| Issue versus pull request | The source issues feed mixes both. type=issue or type=pr filters the fetched page locally; a short filtered page does not imply the source feed ended. Follow its continuation. Endpoint reference → |
| Timestamp meaning | since constrains update time, not creation time. Keep state, labels, type and ordering fixed across pages. Endpoint reference → |
| Repository counters | stars, forks and watchers are separate counters. watchers represents subscribers where returned; list rows can omit it. Preserve numeric source IDs without truncation. Endpoint reference → |
| Account feed | Repository list limit is capped at 100. Retain owner/full_name or URL; a repository name is not globally unique. Endpoint reference → |
Source availability, ordering and field coverage can change. Inspect warnings and partial-result metadata alongside the rows. See runnable workflows, metric semantics, computed fields and the pagination matrix.
Choose an endpoint
Match the operation to your task
| Your task | Endpoint | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Repository metadata | repo | Get stars, forks, default branch and available metadata. |
| Discussion text | issue/comments | Read comments on a chosen issue or pull request URL. |
| Release notes | repo/releases | Use releases rather than inferring releases from repository updates. |
| A repository summary bundle | repo/dossier | Inspect component coverage and warnings before comparing projects. |

Operations
GitHub
Each row is a registry operation: expand it for parameters, a curl built from the registry's own examples, and a Markdown copy of the whole entry. The badge on the right is the operation's state, read at request time — we publish all three rather than rounding up. Recorded proof is historical, not a guarantee of current availability.
- live · proven
- a real upstream response has been served through this API and recorded
- wired · unproven
- a real-data route is registered, but qualifying proof is absent; permission or capacity restrictions may apply
- sample · free
- no live upstream — /v1 refuses it, /sandbox returns a marked sample
