GitHub Profile Repos API
Scrape GitHub Profile Repos data with one API call. Returns the public repositories owned by the user under `data.items[]` — each entry includes `id`, `name`, `full_name`, `description`, `language`, `stargazers_count`, `forks_count`, `created_at`, and `pushed_at`. Sortable by `created`, `updated`, `pushed`, or `full_name`. Use `/v1/github/repo` for a single richer repo dossier.
