## README

### GitHub User Activity API

List a GitHub user's public contribution activity by handle (grouped monthly summaries of commits, pull requests, and issues with repository links) for a given year.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "github/user-activity", "handle": "kentcdodds"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. Lookups that find nothing fail with a not-found error.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `handle` | string | Yes | GitHub username. |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response (pages backward by month). |
| `year` | string | No | Year of contribution activity to return (defaults to the current year). |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, about $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls and lookups that find nothing are not charged.
