Subject: Bug: Wrong GitHub API result when retrieving repository information
Message-ID: <7f00f77e5c8946ae8a17c76feb7dc98b@DGPR01.novatec-gmbh.de>

Dear GitHub Developers,

I'm using the GitHub API for retrieving statistics like stargazers_count or watchers_count.
Unfortunately, an API call to https://api.github.com/users/<USER>/repos returns (as JSON) the same number for stargazers_count and watchers_count, although on the Website the numbers are different.

Example:
...
"size": 5279,
"stargazers_count": 51,
"watchers_count": 51,
"language": "Java",
...


The actual count on the website, however,  are 51 for stargazers and 20 for watchers.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Alexander Wert
