Any way to get number of repositories a user starred

Is there a way I can get the number of repos a user had starred?

…and this other thread right here in our Community:

How can I know the number of repository by user name?

Hey @byunsangjin! To build on what @lee-dohm said, there are a few tricks depending on the exact information you’re looking for.  Using the REST API, you can do some math with a HEAD request to GET /users/:username/repos to find out the exact number of Repositories the user has that are visible to you, with something like this: curl -I 'https://api.github.com/users/nickvanw/repos?per_page=1' That will return a pagination header: Link: <https://api.github.com/user/1907071/repos?per_page=1&pa…

This should be the info you’re looking for, but let us know if you have any questions about putting it all togehter!
