Extending to @JColebrand's answer with the JQuery shortcut to XMLHttpRequest, $.getJson() , here is an API Call that works in 2020.

    user = 'tik9'
        apirepo = `https://api.github.com/users/${user}`
        
   listrepos = document.createElement('ul')
        document.getElementById('github').appendChild(listrepos)
        $.getJSON(apirepo + '/repos', function (data) {
            console.log('data now', data)

            function compare(a, b) {
                if (a.watchers > b.watchers) {
                    return -1
                }
                if (a.watchers < b.watchers) {
                    return 1
                }
                return 0
            }

            data.sort(compare)
            data.forEach(v => {

                listItemRepo = document.createElement('li')
                listrepos.appendChild(listItemRepo)
                hlink = document.createElement('a')
                listItemRepo.appendChild(hlink)
                hlink.textContent = `${v.description} | Stars: ${v.watchers}`
                hlink.href = v.html_url
            })
        })
