These are public, reproducible signals. GitHub traffic referrers, viewer geography, clone history, and private demographic data are not exposed through unauthenticated public APIs.
Google Scholar is also useful for showing broader citation visibility, but it does not provide a stable public API for automated repository documentation. Use the author profile below as the primary Scholar-facing link and refresh Scholar counts manually when needed:
