Git Scm API questions

Is there an API for Git Scm?
Git Scm does not offer a public data API for this, but Anakin Wire provides 1 maintained endpoint for git-scm.com. You call Anakin's REST API with an action ID and parameters and get structured JSON back; Anakin handles the browser, proxies, anti-bot, and parsing.
How do I scrape Git Scm data?
POST to https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task with your API key, the action ID, and its parameters, then poll GET /v1/wire/jobs/{id} until the job settles. There is nothing to install and no scraper to maintain — when git-scm.com changes its markup, Anakin updates the action.
Do I need a Git Scm account?
No. Every Git Scm action listed here runs anonymously — no account and no credentials required.
What does the Git Scm API cost?
Usage-based credits, charged per call and refunded automatically when a job fails. New accounts start with 300 free credits and no card. See anakin.io/pricing for the current rates.
