Reference data

What this is for

GitHub’s REST API is the default way to read public repository metadata. Unauthenticated use is tightly rate-limited. A fine-grained or classic token belongs in an environment variable, never in a static export.

See limits

Limits. About 60 requests/hour without a token (by IP). About 5,000/hour with a typical user token. Secondary limits apply.

Commercial. Use according to GitHub ToS. Tokens need the minimum scopes.

Note. Send API-Version headers as GitHub currently documents. GraphQL is a separate endpoint with its own quota.

curl -sS -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js

PureDevKit does not host or proxy these APIs. Pricing, rate limits, CORS, authentication, and JSON shapes can change without notice. Always confirm the current rules on the provider’s official documentation before you ship.
