Sudden change in total stars earned

[andreped]

Just observed that the total number of stars just changed.

As this is not really an issue, as this change was probably done intentional in a recent commit, for whatever reason, I would like to know if there is a way to get the old behaviour. Just went from above 300 stars to around 136 (see https://github.com/andreped).

Any suggestions?

@andreped to my knowledge, we did not make breaking changes to the star fetching behaviour. 🤔 The only commit that could have influenced this would be af97e57. I checked your username in the GraphQL API, and the correct number of stars should be 136. You can check this out using the following syntax:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    repositories(
      first: 100
      ownerAffiliations: OWNER
      orderBy: {direction: DESC, field: STARGAZERS}
    ) {
      nodes {
        name
        stargazers {
          totalCount
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "login": "andreped"
}

I am, therefore, surprised that you used to have 300 stars. Did you maybe transfer a repository with stars to an organization? We are currently not counting stars from repositories that are in organizations (see #1808).

I also checked the commit before this change, resulting in 136 stars. You can check this out yourself by:

1. cloning the repository git clone [email protected]:anuraghazra/github-readme-stats.git.
2. Installing the npm packages: npm i.
3. Checking out older commits git reset --hard acbc03dc0f2e70da946fbb75822bbe9d041fb729.
4. Starting the development server vercel dev.
5. Check out your username in the browser http://localhost:3000/api?username=andreped.

Please let me know if you find a commit where the stars are returned as 300.

This changed just a few days ago. It was working before. Not sure why it stopped working as intended.

@andreped I am not able to reproduce your issue. So, unfortunately, I can not help you any further. If you find the commit that you think caused this behaviour, feel free to tag me. For now, if you want the 300 stars to show up, please follow my steps at #1 (comment).

Apparently, adding this &role=OWNER,ORGANIZATION_MEMBER,COLLABORATOR does nothing anymore. I believe this had an effect before. That's probably why the stars are gone.

@andreped Ah, I now see what happened. You are using my Vercel instance instead of the public one. 😅 I made some breaking changes some days ago but reverted them somewhere yesterday. That is why the &role parameter stopped working for you. Can you please accept my answer above so we can mark this issue as resolved 🤓?

I just changed to use your vercel instance yesterday. Previously I used the correct one, which was when I got the wrong number of stars.

No idea what the problem is. But you can solve it now as I have a temporary fix at least. If others observe the same, we can reopen this Discussion.

But thanks for trying :]
