Overview
24 Pull Requests is a community initiative that runs every December to encourage developers to contribute to open source projects. Its public API exposes data about participating developers, featured projects, and pull request statistics during the annual event. No authentication is required, making it ideal for building dashboards or studying open source contribution patterns.
Beginner Tip
The API base URL is https://24pullrequests.com/api/v1/ and returns JSON with CORS enabled — you can call it directly from a browser console. The event only runs in December, so some endpoints may return sparse data or last year's stats outside of that month.

Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from 24 Pull Requests",
"description": "Project to promote open source collaboration during December",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
name Name of the open source project accepting contributions. github_url Full GitHub repository URL for the project. description Short description of what the project does. main_language Primary programming language used in the project. pull_requests_count Number of pull requests submitted to this project during the event. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://24pullrequests.com/api/v1/projects";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?

How This API Fails
We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.
Returned an HTML error page rather than JSON — worth knowing if your client assumes every response can be parsed as JSON.
Common Errors & Troubleshooting
Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.
