Stargazers_count is the same as watchers_count and watchers

Hi @conghaonet,

That’s expected behavior since “starring” was called “watching” in the past, so to prevent breaking applications – that hasn’t changed when starring was introduced.

I hope this helps!

I used the V3 API, but there is no subscriber_count field in the returned data. What can I do?

It seems that /repos/{owner}/{repo} endpoint have subscribers_count field, but not in /user/repos endpoint.
