--- title: "List repositories starred by a user" method: GET path: "/users/{username}/starred" tags: ["activity"] --- # List repositories starred by a user `GET /users/{username}/starred` Lists repositories a user has starred. If the specified user has a [private profile](https://docs.github.com/account-and-profile/concepts/personal-profile#private-profiles), this endpoint returns an empty list unless the request is authenticated as that user. A request authenticated as the specified user returns starred repositories visible to the token even if the token has no OAuth scopes. This endpoint supports the following custom media types. For more information, see "[Media types](https://docs.github.com/rest/using-the-rest-api/getting-started-with-the-rest-api#media-types)." - **`application/vnd.github.star+json`**: Includes a timestamp of when the star was created. ## Path parameters - `username` string, required ## Query parameters - `sort` 'created' | 'updated' - `direction` 'asc' | 'desc' - `per_page` integer - `page` integer ## Response `200` Response - union - StarredRepository[] - `starred_at` string, date-time, required - `repo` Repository, required — A repository on GitHub. - `id` integer, required — Unique identifier of the repository - `node_id` string, required - `name` string, required — The name of the repository. - `full_name` string, required - `license` NullableLicenseSimple, nullable, required — License Simple - `key` string, required - `name` string, required - `url` string, uri, nullable, required - `spdx_id` string, nullable, required - `node_id` string, required - `html_url` string, uri - `forks` integer, required - `permissions` object - `admin` boolean, required - `pull` boolean, required - `triage` boolean - `push` boolean, required - `maintain` boolean - `owner` SimpleUser, required — A GitHub user. - `name` string, nullable - `email` string, nullable - `login` string, required - `id` integer, required - `node_id` string, required - `avatar_url` string, uri, required - `gravatar_id` string, nullable, required - `url` string, uri, required - `html_url` string, uri, required - `followers_url` string, uri, required - `following_url` string, required - `gists_url` string, required - `starred_url` string, required - `subscriptions_url` string, uri, required - `organizations_url` string, uri, required - `repos_url` string, uri, required - `events_url` string, required - `received_events_url` string, uri, required - `type` string, required - `site_admin` boolean, required - `starred_at` string - `user_view_type` string - `private` boolean, required — Whether the repository is private or public. - `html_url` string, uri, required - `description` string, nullable, required - `fork` boolean, required - `url` string, uri, required - `archive_url` string, required - `assignees_url` string, required - `blobs_url` string, required - `branches_url` string, required - `collaborators_url` string, required - `comments_url` string, required - `commits_url` string, required - `compare_url` string, required - `contents_url` string, required - `contributors_url` string, uri, required - `deployments_url` string, uri, required - `downloads_url` string, uri, required - `events_url` string, uri, required - `forks_url` string, uri, required - `git_commits_url` string, required - `git_refs_url` string, required - `git_tags_url` string, required - `git_url` string, required - `issue_comment_url` string, required - `issue_events_url` string, required - `issues_url` string, required - `keys_url` string, required - `labels_url` string, required - `languages_url` string, uri, required - `merges_url` string, uri, required - `milestones_url` string, required - `notifications_url` string, required - `pulls_url` string, required - `releases_url` string, required - `ssh_url` string, required - `stargazers_url` string, uri, required - `statuses_url` string, required - `subscribers_url` string, uri, required - `subscription_url` string, uri, required - `tags_url` string, uri, required - `teams_url` string, uri, required - `trees_url` string, required - `clone_url` string, required - `mirror_url` string, uri, nullable, required - `hooks_url` string, uri, required - `svn_url` string, uri, required - `homepage` string, uri, nullable, required - `language` string, nullable, required - `forks_count` integer, required - `stargazers_count` integer, required - `watchers_count` integer, required - `size` integer, required — The size of the repository, in kilobytes.
