$0.01 / query 6 hr refresh GitHub

github-trending-live is a live GitHub trending intelligence feed for developer agents. Every record includes repository full name, total star count, stars gained today, primary language, description, topics, and URL — the full picture of what's gaining momentum in the AI/LLM/agent open source space. Updated every 6 hours. Inspect for free, pay $0.01 USDC per query via x402.

AI/agent-focused filter: github-trending-live filters GitHub's trending page to surface repositories in the AI, LLM, and agent space. This isn't raw GitHub trending — it's pre-filtered for the developer agent audience. Today-stars (stars gained in 24h) is a stronger freshness signal than total stars for detecting genuinely emerging tools.

Each query returns top trending AI/agent repositories with full metadata. Sample response:
