FAQ

Do I need an API key to access GitHub key?

You might not need an API key for now since GitHub offers unauthenticated access up to certain limit. Please read this: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/guides/getting-started-with-the-rest-api which says that they allow up to 60 requests per hour per user. So they block the IP for a while if they exceed that limit.

The admin inputs for API key will be in the future releases if people find it interesting to work with.

How do I limit the number of search results?

Make use of the attribute [github-flair total-results="25"] where you can set any number instead of 25.

I need to add/delete details to/from these cards.

You can do so if you are a developer by editing the script.js file and getting the desired results from the API into the HTML and then minify it. As a non-developer, You can request more profile data through https://github.com/M4N0JKUM4R/Flair-Github/issues
