Question: public read access to a repo's commits and releases, and a homepage field #588

Open

Description

@hey-research-lab

Hi, HEY Research Lab here (we sent openlaunch#109 earlier this month). HEY keeps a public record of what projects on Robinhood Chain ship, read from their own repositories. A few builders now host on Twigpine/gitlawb, and we'd like to read those repositories the way we read GitHub today.

Two questions:

  1. Is there a public, no-signup way to read a repository's commits and releases on a node, through REST, GraphQL or a feed? Our reads would be light and cached, a few requests per repository a day.
  2. Does a repository's metadata carry a homepage or website field? We tie a repository to a project only when the two point at each other, so that field matters for us.

Signed pushes would make Twigpine repositories some of the strongest evidence we read. If this belongs somewhere else, happy to move it.
