GitHub search: find repositories

$0.002 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

GitHub repository search: find public repositories by keyword, optionally in one language, ordered by best match, stars, forks or last update, with each result's stars, forks, language, topics, license and last-push date; 1-20 results. Repositories only, no user profile data. Use to find a library for a task, discover the popular projects on a topic or check what already exists before building.

Run it free (25 free calls) Buy credits by card (from $1) Example result (JSON)

Try it with your own inputs

Search words, e.g. x402 payments (GitHub search qualifiers such as topic:mcp or stars:>100 work too)

Uses one of your 25 free calls. Nothing is charged, and a call that fails is not counted.

Inputs

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/github/search?q=x402%20payments"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/github/search?q=x402%20payments&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
