Community metrics

Use the REST API to retrieve information about your community profile.

Get community profile metrics

Returns all community profile metrics for a repository. The repository cannot be a fork.

The returned metrics include an overall health score, the repository description, the presence of documentation, the detected code of conduct, the 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.
