github-star-history

install

npm i --save github-star-history or yarn add github-star-history

usage

Export your GitHub token as GITHUB_TOKEN env.

import countStars from 'github-star-history';
// or:
// const countStars = require('github-star-history').default;

const result = await countStars('visionmedia/debug', '2019-01-01T00:00:00Z');
expect(result).to.equal(7054);

notes

• Due to GitHub API limits, if the past number of stars exceeds 39990, it returns 39990.
• The returned past number of stars can change if a user unstars a given repo because GitHub API returns only the current stargazers.
