Questions
FAQ
How do I use the GitHub User API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/github/user with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the GitHub User API cost?
From $0.0012 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the GitHub User API accept?
Required: handle (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the GitHub User API return?
A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).
Do I need a GitHub developer account or API key?
No. GitHub User runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for GitHub API access separately.
