Mecha’s GitHub API

Table of Contents

I’m creating some public GitHub API for our control panel extension.

So, recently I made a number of API to quickly display my repository status on GitHub. But then I decided to make it public (can be used to display other people’s repositories). I hope this will not burden my shared hosting server, haha! 😆

Update 2019/01/01: To prevent massive requests and to save my bandwidth quota, I have set the cache header for about an hour for every page request.
