GitHub Repo Stats returns the key facts about any public GitHub repository: owner, description, main language, stars, forks, open issues, topics, license, default branch and dates. Paste a repo link and get its stats in one call.
Choosing a library, tracking a competitor's open source project or reporting on adoption all start with the same numbers. This tool gives them to you without opening GitHub, ready to compare across projects.
What you can do
- Get stars, forks and open issue counts for any public repo
- See the main language, topics and license
- Check when the repo was created and last updated
- Compare libraries before choosing one
- Track the growth of an open source project
Who it's for
Developers choosing dependencies, developer relations teams tracking adoption, and investors researching open source companies.
How to use it
- Call get_repository with the repo link, like https://github.com/owner/name
- Read stars, forks, issues and license from the result
- Repeat for other repos to compare them
Getting started
Pass a link like https://github.com/vercel/next.js to get_repository.
