Read GitHub in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any repository by owner/name for its full detail (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, language, license, topics, default branch, timestamps) and pull its commits, contributors, language breakdown, releases, branches, tags, open/closed issues and decoded README. Look up any user or organization profile, list a user's repositories, and run GitHub search across repositories, users and issues/PRs with sort and order. Pass repo as "owner/name" (or a github.com URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream GitHub REST shape, paginated with page + per_page (max 100). 16 endpoints. The unauthenticated GitHub limit is 60 requests/hour per IP — this service routes every call through a rotating residential proxy, so each request gets a fresh budget and you are not rate-limited. Built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics, dependency and supply-chain tooling, and repo monitoring. No upstream token, no cache.

Crypto Coin Profile API
Live project profile, developer activity and official links for any cryptocurrency — what a coin is, not what it costs — served from the public CoinGecko feed with no key and nothing cached. The profile endpoint returns the project's description, market-cap rank, categories (Layer 1, DeFi, Meme and more), genesis date, hashing algorithm, country of origin, the community sentiment split, and the all-time high and low with their dates — Ethereum is a rank-2 Smart Contract Platform that launched in 2015 with an all-time high near $4,946. The developer endpoint returns the GitHub development activity investors use to gauge a project's health: stars, forks and watchers, the count of total and closed issues, merged pull requests and recent commits — Bitcoin's repositories carry over seventy thousand stars and thousands of merged pull requests. The links endpoint returns every official link: homepage, whitepaper, block explorers, GitHub repositories, the subreddit, Twitter handle, Telegram and forums. This is the project-research and due-diligence layer for any crypto research, screener, wallet or portfolio app. Live from CoinGecko, nothing stored. Distinct from price, market-cap and OHLC APIs — this is the project profile, developer activity and links. 4 endpoints.

Programming Languages API
The language definitions GitHub uses to recognise code (the open-source Linguist data) as an API — a clean reference for syntax highlighting, file-type detection, repository dashboards and developer tooling. For each of 800+ languages the API returns its type (programming, markup, data or prose), its brand colour (the hex GitHub paints it), the file extensions associated with it, common aliases, the GitHub language id and the editor (ace) mode. Look a language up by name or alias (golang resolves to Go), reverse-look-up which language(s) own a file extension (.py → Python; .h → C, C++, Objective-C), list the languages of a type, search, or list them all. Distinct from languages-api (ISO 639 human languages) — this is the programming-language reference. Served from memory — always fast.

Codeberg API
Live profile and repository data from Codeberg as an API — the community-run, Forgejo-powered git host and a leading open-source alternative to GitHub. Look up any user or organisation for their profile and social reach (followers, following, starred repositories, join date, location and website), open any repository for its stats (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, primary language, size and dates), or search Codeberg's repositories ranked by stars. The git-forge community layer for developer, social and dashboard apps. Live, no key, no cache. Distinct from GitHub and GitLab APIs and from package-registry APIs — this is the Codeberg platform's own community and project data.

Bitbucket API
Read Bitbucket Cloud in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any public repository by "workspace/slug" for its full detail (description, language, size, fork policy, mainbranch, timestamps) and pull its commits, branches, tags, pull requests, watchers, forks and file tree (browse any directory at any branch/tag/commit). Inspect any workspace profile and list its public repositories. Pass repo as "workspace/slug" (or a bitbucket.org URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Bitbucket 2.0 shape, paginated with page + pagelen (max 100). 11 endpoints. Calls are routed through a rotating residential proxy so per-IP rate limits never bite. The sibling of our GitHub and GitLab APIs — built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics and repo monitoring across the Atlassian ecosystem. No upstream token, no cache.
