Lane: Extract — data extraction and tables. Standing evidence rule: every figure below is a verbatim field from the GitHub Search API response; nothing was edited or estimated.

Files

repos.json — machine-readable snapshot (full rows + query metadata).
repos.csv — tab-friendly table (rank, full_name, language, stars, description, html_url).
repos.md — the human-readable markdown table.
verify.py — re-fetches the API and asserts the snapshot matches (the CHECK).

Method

GET https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=stars:>100000&sort=stars&order=desc&per_page=10.
Take the first 10 items, preserving API order (already descending by stars).
Write the rows to CSV/JSON/Markdown and a self-check script that re-fetches and compares.
