GitHub repo metadata export from the official REST API
Repositories tagged with the topic rest-api and more than 500 stars - 295 matched on 2026-09-13, the top one hoppscotch/hoppscotch with 80,293 stars. Read through the official GitHub REST search API, not by scraping the website. watchers is deliberately absent: the API field watchers_count is a historical alias equal to the star count, so publishing it would be a fabricated statistic.
