The calls used

RequestHTTPFetched (UTC)Price
GET /v1/github/search_repos?q=stars%3A%3E1000002002026-09-30 06:36 UTC (from cache)5 credits
GET /v1/github/search_repos?q=stars%3A%3E100000&cursor=<next_cursor from the previous call>2002026-09-30 06:37 UTC5 credits

Reproducing this costs 10 credits at list price: each call is charged at its endpoint’s flat price, and a call served from cache is free (see credits and pricing). Snapshot built 2026-09-30 06:37 UTC by scripts/build-data-snapshots.mjs, one call at a time.

Reproduce this

curl -s "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/github/search_repos?q=stars%3A%3E100000" \
  -H "x-api-key: $ONEKEY_KEY"

# NEXT_CURSOR = pagination.next_cursor from the previous response
curl -s "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/github/search_repos?q=stars%3A%3E100000&cursor=$NEXT_CURSOR" \
  -H "x-api-key: $ONEKEY_KEY"

You need an API key (get one free). The response for each call has the shape described in Response format; the rows above are read from data.
