Read GitHub Data

Fetches and normalizes public GitHub profile data. No GitAscii session is required. The username path parameter identifies the GitHub account.

curl -i https://gitascii.com/api/github/octocat

The 200 JSON body is NormalizedGitHubData, without a data wrapper. Its structure and data origins are covered in types and data sources. REST profile data and best-effort enrichment do not guarantee that every optional metric is present. Clients should tolerate optional fields and empty collections.

Status	Body
`200`	Normalized GitHub data
`400`	`{"error":"Username is required"}` for a missing username passed to the handler
`404`	`{"error":"<not-found message>"}`
`500`	`{"error":"<upstream or processing failure>"}`

Successful responses set Cache-Control: public, s-maxage=3600, stale-while-revalidate=86400. These are shared-cache directives, not a promise that upstream GitHub data is refreshed on every request. The endpoint neither publishes SVGs nor changes repository files. Source: GitHub data route.
