How this service works
Machine-readable settlement service
Output
Returns a JSON object containing structured metadata about the specified GitHub repository, potentially including fields such as repository name, owner, description, primary programming language, star count, fork count, open issues count, topics/tags, creation date, last updated date, visibility status, and homepage URL.
Example use cases
Enrich open source dependency data
“For the repo 'facebook/react', can you fetch its GitHub metadata so I can see its description, star count, language, and main topics?”
Audit a vendor's GitHub presence
“Look up the GitHub repo metadata for 'stripe/stripe-node' — I want to know when it was created, how many forks it has, and whether it's actively maintained.”
Research a project before contributing
“Get me the full metadata for the 'microsoft/vscode' GitHub repo, including its description, license, and any listed topics.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://pennyrail.vercel.app/api/p/network/github.repo--github-repo-metadataWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable GitHub repository metadata resolved via a paid micropayment API (x402/USDC). Prefer it over direct GitHub API calls when operating in an agent context that uses x402 payment rails, or when you want a simple single-field string input rather than managing GitHub OAuth tokens. Best for enriching pipelines with repo-level signals like language, stars, and topics.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed repository identifier returns an error or empty result
- Repository does not exist or has been deleted results in a not-found error
- Private repository access may be restricted or return limited metadata
- Service downtime or upstream GitHub API rate limiting may cause failures
- Malformed input string (missing owner prefix) may cause lookup failure
