Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
GitHub is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires OAuth, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.
GitHub uses OAuth rather than a simple key, so you register an application and complete an authorisation flow before making calls. That is more setup than a key, and it is why OAuth APIs are harder to try quickly.
Yes. GitHub returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.
Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached GitHub and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1321 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.
Yes. GitHub serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
