StackHound
GitHub API Limitations? StackHound Has the Solution.
The standard GitHub API provides information about programming languages used in repositories, but it often lacks the granularity to identify specific frameworks and technologies. StackHound overcomes this limitation, offering deeper insights into the tech stacks used in projects.
StackHound Demo
Enter a GitHub username and repository to analyze the tech stack. Provide a token for private repositories.
Requires a Personal Access Token with the repo scope (or public_repo for public repos only). Manage your tokens securely.
API Usage
You can query the StackHound API directly. The endpoint /api/analyze accepts username and repo query parameters.
It analyzes dependency files (like package.json, requirements.txt, etc.) from the GitHub repository and returns the detected technologies.
Private Repositories
To analyze private repositories, you need to provide a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the appropriate scope (e.g.,
repo) in the request header. Use either Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN or X-GitHub-Token: YOUR_TOKEN. See the code examples below. Handle your tokens securely.Loading API URL...Remember to replace YOUR_USERNAME, YOUR_REPO, and YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN where applicable.
