New API endpoint provides privacy-safe star history data

Track repository star growth over time with the new star history REST API endpoint without exposing stargazer identities.

Earlier this year, stargazer listing endpoints were restricted to admins and collaborators to protect user privacy. Now you can get the insights you need with a privacy-safe alternative.

With the new endpoint, you can:

• Retrieve historical star counts with timestamps without exposing individual stargazer data.
• Update tools and integrations that previously tracked star growth before these privacy restrictions took effect.

To learn more, see our GitHub REST API docs.
