GitHub REST API

The GitHub REST API (v3) provides programmatic access to GitHub functionality—repositories, issues, pull requests, users, organizations, search, webhooks, and more. It is versioned, well‑documented, and actively maintained. While source‑import endpoints were deprecated in April 2024, the core v3 REST API remains fully active and supported. Ideal for integrations, automation, or workflows. Listed as active on Free API Hub.
