Congrats on your re-launch - nice work!
At Openbase.com we're building the star count charts by using the GitHub GraphQL API (as we use it for other things like collecting stats about commits, issues and PRs).
Looking at how star-history works, seems like you opted for using the GitHub REST API - what are the upsides / downsides of using the REST API?
- tianzhou 5y agoThere is no particular reason. Because the project started in 2016 when there is only REST API and it has served us well.
- liorgrossman 5y agoThat makes sense, no GraphQL API back then.
