How this service works
Fetch GitHub data from a ref (repo + README, files, commits, PRs, issues, discussions)
Output
A JSON object containing structured GitHub data keyed by `kind` (e.g. 'repo', 'pull', 'issue', 'blob', 'tree', 'commits', 'branches', 'releases') and a `data` field with the relevant metadata — such as full_name, description, open issues count, stars, files, or commit messages, depending on the path inferred from the ref.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you pull up the details for the GitHub repo x402-foundation/x402 — I want to see its description, stars, and any other metadata available?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://glim.sh/api/v1/github/getWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when your agent needs live, structured GitHub data (repos, PRs, issues, files, commits, branches, releases) without managing GitHub API keys or OAuth tokens. Ideal for agents that need to inspect open-source projects, check PR status, or read file contents on demand, paying only per call via x402.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed GitHub URL/shorthand returns an error
- Private repository returns access-denied error since no auth is passed
- Rate limiting on the underlying GitHub data source may cause intermittent failures
- Unsupported path type (e.g. GitHub Actions, Gists) may not be parsed correctly
- Pagination beyond available pages returns empty results
