First of all, thanks for reading.
I am hosting my current projects on GitHub. Using GitHub Pages, I ]host my personal blog, you can reach the blog here.
On the b
you can use a github API lib too. This lib is my favourite https://github.com/michael/github
The script that you posted isn't working because the URL is for the older API. Change the URL to this and it should work for you.
https://api.github.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/repos?callback=CALLBACK
Note: callback=<YOUR_CALLBACK>
is optional.
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
})
})

<h4><span id=repocount></span> Github Repositories</h4>

http://developer.github.com/v3/ is pretty explicit on how to do this. In fact, since my username there and here are the same, let me show you.
I opened my repo page on github, https://github.com/jcolebrand (so this is evident so far) and pressed F12 in Chrome.
I interrogated to see that jQuery is indeed installed, because I like shortcuts when I'm doing examples.
I then tested $.getJSON('//api.github.com/users/jcolebrand/repos',{},function(data){console.log(data)})
exactly from the API page, as it says, and lo and behold, I was granted the five repos I see for myself.
Here are the things I have not done: I did not acquire an API key, I did not work via API, and I used my existing credentials. Keep those things in mind, but that's how to improve it going forward.
