Github-Starred-Fetch

🚀 Project Showcase: Fetching Starred GitHub Repositories using Python 🖥️

I developed a Python script to fetch and display a user’s starred repositories from GitHub using their REST API.

Key Features:

• API Integration: Utilizes GitHub’s REST API to retrieve data about repositories starred by a user.
• Secure Authentication: Employs a Personal Access Token (PAT) for secure API requests, avoiding the use of passwords.
• Data Retrieval: Sends a GET request to the /users/{username}/starred endpoint to obtain repository details such as:
  • Name: The repository’s name.
  • Description: A brief description of the repository.
  • Stars: The number of stars the repository has received.
• Error Handling: Includes basic error handling to manage issues like authentication failures or API rate limits.

How It Works:

1. Dependencies: Uses the requests library for making HTTP requests and handling authentication.
2. Fetching Data: The fetch_starred_repositories function makes an authenticated request to GitHub’s API and retrieves the starred repositories in JSON format.
3. Displaying Information: The display_repositories function formats and prints the repository details in a readable manner.

This project demonstrates my ability to integrate with web APIs, implement secure authentication, and handle data effectively using Python. 📊🔒
