Why starhistory.io?

On June 30, 2026, GitHub restricted the Stargazers API — GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/stargazers now returns 404 for non-collaborators.

star-history.com and every other star history tool is permanently broken.

starhistory.io uses a GitHub App — install once, auto-renewing tokens, works forever. No PAT management, no expiration, no 503.

⚠ Why does the App request "write" access?

On June 30, 2026, GitHub restricted the Stargazers API to admins and collaborators only. GitHub's permission model requires contents: write to prove collaborator status — there is no stargazers: read permission.

starhistory.io only reads star data. We never write to your repositories.

Our security measures: 🔒 IP-restricted tokens (server-only) • 🔓 Open source code (verify yourself) • 🛡 Non-root Docker container • ⏱ Auto-expiring 1-hour tokens
