# Developer & open-source research
Look up GitHub repos, users, and orgs, plus Chrome Web Store extensions, as
normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping github.com or the
Chrome Web Store.
## When to use this skill
- "Tell me about this GitHub repo/user/org" (stars, languages, followers).
- "What's trending on GitHub right now?" (by language).
- "Who contributes to this repo?" / "what are its releases?"
- "Tell me about this Chrome extension" (permissions, privacy, reviews).
- "Search extensions for <keyword>" or "what's similar to this extension?"
## Setup (one-time)
- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills).
- Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper.
- The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`.
## How it works
1. **GitHub repos** — `/github/search/repositories` (`q`, GitHub search
syntax works) to find one; `/github/repo/{owner}/{repo}` for detail, plus
`/contributors`, `/languages`, `/releases`, `/forks`.
2. **GitHub users/orgs** — `/github/search/users` (`q`); `/github/user/{username}`
(+ `/followers`, `/following`, `/repos`, `/events`, `/pinned`) or
`/github/org/{org}` (+ `/repos`). `/github/trending` and
`/github/trending/developers` (filter by `language`, `since`) cover
