GitHub Contribution Chart Generator
Fetch anyone's GitHub contribution totals as JSON by year
Behind the contribution-chart image generator sits a JSON endpoint that returns a GitHub user's yearly contribution totals and date ranges. Pass a username and get an array of years with totals — handy for building your own visualizations. It scrapes live, so responses can be slow and don't include CORS headers.
