The data

GitHub data,
ready to work with.

A GitHub account tells you who maintains a project; a repository, release or issue answers a different question. Start with a public profile for account context, then follow the dedicated repository routes for project metadata, README text or release records. Use issue and comment operations when the discussion matters, preserving the original links rather than turning a summary into an unsourced claim. Counts such as followers or public repositories are dated observations and do not measure code quality. Monocrawl returns supported public GitHub records as JSON through one key for your own project research workflows.

Before you build

GitHub API questions,
answered.

Need to check a particular workflow?
Talk to us

Does the GitHub profile route include private repositories?

No. It returns supported public account information. A public repository count is not an inventory of private work.

Are issues and pull requests identical?

No. Some source issue feeds include pull requests, so inspect each returned item’s type before treating it as an issue.

What GitHub operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 12 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How much does the GitHub API cost?

Start with 150 free credits. Paid subscriptions start at $29 per month for 10,000 credits, before applicable tax. Each operation has its own price. Check the endpoint reference for variable charges. Compare plans

How do I authenticate requests?

Use your Monocrawl API key in the x-api-key header. The endpoint reference lists any additional inputs needed for the operation. Authentication guide

What request limits apply?

Limits depend on your Monocrawl plan. The Free account ceiling is 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Endpoint capacity and Free daily protections also apply; these ceilings do not guarantee source throughput. Read the limits guide

What should I know about GitHub coverage?

Public repository activity does not expose private projects or prove maintainer availability. Issue and release lists are returned windows; preserve repository identity and pagination context.

Is Monocrawl affiliated with GitHub?

Monocrawl is an independent service. Third-party names identify data sources and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
