Tracks GitHub stars history: current star count plus a sampled cumulative-stars-vs-date series for any public GitHub repo. Walks 1-10 evenly-spaced pages of /stargazers using application/vnd.github.star+json so each sample carries a starred_at timestamp. Free public API, no auth (subject to GitHub's 60 req/h unauthenticated limit). Use it as a star growth chart, repo popularity over time, or trending tracker.
