Frequently asked questions
What can I search for?
Any keyword works, and you can also use qualifiers such as `language:python`, `stars:>1000` or `topic:cli` to narrow results.
How many repositories can I get per run?
A single search returns up to 1000 repositories, sorted by relevance.
Which fields are numeric?
Stars, forks, watchers, open issues and size are parsed as numbers so you can sort and filter directly.
How fresh is the data?
Every record is read live at run time, so stars and timestamps reflect the moment of the run (see observedAt).
