GitHub
GitHub is source-backed today. Use /research when you want repo, issue, and code-adjacent discovery without owning GitHub API integration yourself.
Best for
- competitor repo discovery
- issue and discussion tracking
- open-source adoption signals
- code search style research queries
Example
Source-filtered GitHub research
```bash
curl https://api.faircompany.ai/v1/crawl/research \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer fc_live_xxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "vector database benchmarks site:github.com",
"sources": ["github"],
"limit": 10
}'
```
```ts
const results = await fc.research({
query: "vector database benchmarks site:github.com",
sources: ["github"],
limit: 10,
});
console.log(results.all.map((item) => item.url));
```
```python
results = fc.research(
"vector database benchmarks site:github.com",
sources=["github"],
limit=10,
)
print([item.url for item in results.all])
```
```json
{
"tool": "faircrawl_research",
"arguments": {
"query": "vector database benchmarks site:github.com",
"sources": ["github"],
"limit": 10
}
}
```
Notes
- GitHub does not have a top-level typed namespace in the public SDK today
- for one known repo page,
/web/scrapeis still a good fallback
