GitHub REST + GraphQL API (reference provider) is one of 15 APIs that [Agent Readiness](https://apis.io/providers/agent-readiness/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Developer Tools, Agent Readiness, and Reference Provider. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

Reference provider with arguably the most extensively-tooled developer surface on the web. Public OpenAPI, GraphQL schema, webhooks, conditional requests, explicit `X-RateLimit-*` headers, status page, and an MCP server — a near-complete agent-readiness signal set.
