Prism Org Radar API
Returns a GitHub organization's footprint: its most starred repositories, each with releases, open issue load, and its top feature request and complaint.

When to use the Prism Org Radar API
Use it to size up a whole organization in one call instead of listing the repositories and then pulling a report for each one.
From the API reference
Lists a GitHub org's repositories, picks the top N by stars (forks/archived filtered), and runs the repo/dossier composite on each in parallel, folded into an org-level rollup. Metered: 1cr to resolve the org + 5cr per repo dossiered; the unused per-repo credits are refunded down to the dossiers that actually succeeded. The org repo-list leg is critical (unknown org → 404 + full refund).

What can you do with the Org Radar API?
The Org Radar endpoint gives you structured Prism data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/prism/org-radar: Metered: holds 26 credits per call up front and refunds what the call does not use. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| org | Yes | The GitHub org login or a github.com/{org} URL. |
| repos | No | How many top repos to dossier (1-10, default 5): drives the metered price. |
| sort | No | Repo ranking: stars (default), updated, or pushed. (stars | updated | pushed) |
| include | No | CSV subset of `dossiers`, `rollup` (default: both). Naming a subset TRIMS which blocks are computed; an unknown member or an empty value is a 400. Dropping `dossiers` also drops the per-repo credit (`1 + 5 x repos` becomes `1`). |

Every response follows one unified schema. Here is a real, unmodified response body, so you can see the exact fields you get back before spending a credit.
