Community metrics

The Community metrics API lets you get data about your community profile.

Get community profile metrics

This endpoint will return all community profile metrics, including an overall health score, repository description, the presence of documentation, detected code of conduct, detected license, and the presence of ISSUE_TEMPLATE, PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE, README, and CONTRIBUTING files.

The health_percentage score is defined as a percentage of how many of these four documents are present: README, CONTRIBUTING, LICENSE, and CODE_OF_CONDUCT. For example, if all four documents are present, then the health_percentage is 100. If only one is present, then the health_percentage is 25.

content_reports_enabled is only returned for organization-owned repositories.
