What people ask GitHub 33

The questions people put to an LLM, and the jobs they hand an agent, that GitHub's APIs answer — each one linked to the operation that does it. Generated by API Evangelist

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/github: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

GitHub is an area vendor: providers adopt it to run part of their developer surface. This is the Kin Score checks its features can move for a provider that adopts it, what each one really earns, and what it earns nothing for.

communityhostingmeasured14 features checked 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.22.0

GitHub moves more Kin Score checks than any other community vendor, but almost all of them are pointers the provider has to declare in its apis.yml, and two land at half credit: a Discussions forum declared as Community and an organization declared as GitHubOrganization both grade “unverified” (0.5) because the pointer probe does not read either type. The four open_source checks (releases, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT) are real but conditional: that facet applies only when the provider’s product is itself an open-source repository we harvest (668 of ~26,700 providers), and an organization-default SECURITY.md kept only in a .github repo is invisible to it. Hosting an OpenAPI or apis.yml in a repository earns nothing by itself; serving the apis.yml from a Pages site does.

What GitHub ships that earns nothing (5)

Organization-default community health files (.github repository) — GitHub serves org-default files as fallbacks, but they do not appear in the product repository, and the harvest reads that repository’s own root listing and community profile. A SECURITY.md kept only in the .github repo scores nothing.
Public repositories (hosting an OpenAPI or apis.yml in a repo) — An apis.yml whose url is on github.com or raw.githubusercontent.com is on a code-hosting platform, not a host the provider controls; the check refuses it.
Public repositories (hosting an OpenAPI or apis.yml in a repo) — Hosting a file is not authoring it. The contract earns because the provider wrote it; putting it in a repository changes where it is read from, not whether it counts.
GitHub MCP Server — It exposes GitHub’s API, not the provider’s. No provider earns mcp_server because GitHub runs one.
GitHub Discussions (repository and organization) — Discussions has announcements and polls, not an event surface for the provider’s API.

A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership can. The rating is not for sale → · Full vendor facets artifact

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
