What it does

The `/scout/github/repo` endpoint returns detailed information about a specific GitHub repository. Given an owner and repo name, it fetches stars, forks, language, topics, license, and optionally the top 10 contributors and 5 most recent releases. It is one endpoint within the Scout Multi-source Intelligence API, which covers 19+ platforms (Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow, arXiv, npm, PyPI, X/Twitter, YouTube, Product Hunt, and more) accessible via x402 micropayments.

The endpoint accepts GET requests with required `owner` and `repo` query parameters, plus optional boolean flags `include_contributors` and `include_releases` for richer data. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol using USDC on Base at $0.005–$0.01 per call (the OpenAPI spec lists $0.005; the live 402 challenge advertises $0.01). Alternative access methods are available: a broker API key (with $0.05 free credit), an MCP transport at `mcp.hugen.tokyo`, or the `x402-pay` Python SDK.

The broader Scout API also offers aggregated multi-source reports (`/scout/report` for 14 free sources at $0.005, `/scout/report/full` for all 18 sources at $0.25) and AI-synthesized deep research endpoints (`/scout/research` at $0.25, `/scout/research/deep` at $0.50). All endpoints return JSON and settle payments in USDC on Base.

Use cases

  • —Retrieving repository stats (stars, forks, language, license) for competitive analysis or portfolio monitoring
  • —Fetching top contributors and recent releases for due-diligence on open-source dependencies
  • —Powering AI agent workflows that need structured GitHub metadata without managing GitHub API tokens
  • —Building dashboards that aggregate repo health signals across multiple projects

Fit

Best for

  • —AI agents needing on-demand GitHub repo metadata without OAuth setup
  • —Developers who want pay-per-call access to GitHub data without rate-limit management
  • —Automated pipelines that evaluate open-source project health

Not for

  • —Bulk scraping of thousands of repositories (per-call pricing adds up)
  • —Accessing private repositories (only public GitHub data)
  • —Full GitHub API feature parity (issues, PRs, code search not exposed here)

Full OpenAPI schema with parameter descriptions and a live 402 challenge confirm the endpoint is operational. However, no response schema or example response body is documented, and the crawled site pages (docs, pricing, README) all returned 404. The example response JSON above is inferred from the OpenAPI description, not from actual documentation.

Warnings

  • —No response schema defined in OpenAPI — response structure is inferred from description text
  • —Price discrepancy: OpenAPI says $0.005 but the live 402 challenge says $0.01
  • —No dedicated docs, pricing, or README pages found on the origin site (all returned 404)
