openapi: 3.2.0 info: title: HonestHook GitHub API version: 1.0.0 description: Profiles and posts from the major social networks, through one API. One key, one response shape; rate limits, retries and platform changes are on us. Clean JSON for your app or your AI agent. We read the exact field each platform publishes, and return null when none exists. Plus a historical trend archive that answers what was trending, which cannot be reconstructed after the fact. contact: url: https://honesthook.com license: name: Proprietary url: https://honesthook.com/docs servers: - url: https://honesthook.com security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Github paths: /api/v1/github/profile: get: operationId: githubProfile summary: Public profile on github, with the exact follower count x-credits: 1 x-charges-without-result: false description: 'One public profile, normalised into the same envelope as every other platform.
