A single GitHub Search API request per language —
?q=language:groovy&sort=stars&order=desc&per_page=100
— refreshed hourly by a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow and committed back to
the repository. The records are never reshaped: every field GitHub returned is
preserved. The methodology page covers the query,
the rate limits, the fields the Search API omits and the known limitations, and the
field reference documents every JSON key.
