Track new releases for the GitHub repos you depend on. Get the version tag, release name, changelog body, publish date, and release URL the moment a new one ships — without checking each repo's Releases page by hand.
Built for engineering teams monitoring critical dependencies and security teams watching upstream projects for patch releases.
Input
{"repos": ["facebook/react", "nodejs/node"],"daysBack": 30,"includePrereleases": false,"maxResultsPerRepo": 10}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
repos | array of strings | Repos to check, as "owner/repo". One release lookup is billed per repo. |
daysBack | number | Only return releases published within this many days of today. Default 30, max 365. |
includePrereleases | boolean | Include betas/release candidates in addition to stable releases. Default false. |
maxResultsPerRepo | number | Max releases to return per repo, most recent first. Default 10, max 50. |
githubToken | string (optional) | A personal access token, kept secret. Not required for public repos — raises GitHub's unauthenticated rate limit (60 requests/hour) to 5,000/hour if you're checking many repos in one run. |
Output
One record per release:
{"repo": "facebook/react","tagName": "v19.1.0","name": "19.1.0","publishedAt": "2026-07-14T18:22:03Z","isPrerelease": false,"htmlUrl": "https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v19.1.0","author": "gaearon","body": "## What's Changed\n- ..."}
A repo with no releases in the requested window returns no items but is still billed once for the lookup.
How it works
Direct calls to the official GitHub REST API
(api.github.com). No proxy, no scraping — public repo data only.
Pricing note
Billed per repo checked, not per release returned — one charge per repo whether it has 0 or 50 matching releases.
