GitHub Commit Velocity Tracker API

For agents and pipelines that need a turn-key GitHub commit velocity tracker API, GitDealFlow's public endpoints return the metric pre-computed across ~400 venture-backed startup organizations spanning 20 sectors.

What's in the panel. Every tracked startup carries: commitVelocity (total commits in the rolling 14-day window), commitVelocityChange (percentage delta vs. the prior window — the primary ranking signal), contributors (unique contributor count), signalType (one of four classification categories), an estimated stage, a sector slug, and a list of recentRepos for the 30-day repository-creation window.

Access patterns.

```bash # Bulk panel — all sectors, all periods, all startups curl https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/signals.json

# Single startup lookup curl "https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/signal?name=Roboflow"

# CSV for spreadsheets / dataframes curl https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/signals.csv

# MCP server — invokable from Claude / Cursor / Windsurf npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal ```

Refresh schedule. The pipeline runs every Monday morning. CDN caches at the edge for 24 hours; agents that hit the API mid-week get the most recent Monday data. The /api/changelog.json endpoint reports schema and pipeline changes.

If you want to compute it yourself, the methodology page documents the GitHub REST API endpoints (/repos/{org}/{repo}/stats/commit_activity, /contributors), the filtering rules, and the four-category signal-classification thresholds. The SSRN preprint at id 6606558 formalizes the approach.
