Hi @Mubelotix, how are you fetching stargazer metadata without a PAT?

Are you affiliated with Tim Qian's original star-history project?

Hi, I had it fetched while it was still possible, now I just have to keep it up to date by fetching the new count from time to time.

I'm not affiliated with them, we had no contact

So this will only work for repos you have scraped before July 1st 2026?

I think we should wait and see if @timqian / @tianzhou come up with a more sustainable solution, else this is a fine fallback for this particular project.

I don't know why the star-history embedded PAT token solution (currently used in this repo) stopped working suddenly. I can no longer view charts for projects I own at https://www.star-history.com either.

@tanghaibao can you try updating the permissions on the current stargazer token to include:

• Metadata → Read-only
• Contents → Read and write (new addition)

You might need to paste the PAT token here to regenerate the star-history embed code: https://www.star-history.com/?repos=tanghaibao%2Fjcvi&type=date&legend=top-left

@Adamtaranto something is broken with stargazer. I made sure of the token privilege but it still breaks in README.

Adding the extra permission to the token then regenerating the embed code on star-history worked for one of my projects https://github.com/Adamtaranto/TIRmite

Github requiring to give away write permissions on repositories for this is insane
