How it works
FAQ
Is StarMapper free?
Yes — no account, no login, no credit card. Paste a repo URL and click Map It.
How accurate is the location data?
Accuracy depends on what GitHub users enter in their profile. On average 60–80% of stargazers have a geocodable location. Users without a location appear in the Unmapped list.
Does it work with private repos?
No. StarMapper only works with public repositories — the GitHub API does not expose stargazer data for private repos.
Can I embed a badge in my README?
Yes. After scanning a repo, StarMapper generates an embeddable SVG badge with the star count and number of mapped countries. Copy the Markdown snippet directly from the map page.
Where does the stargazer data come from?
StarMapper uses the GitHub public API (GraphQL + REST) with an authenticated token. We access only publicly visible profile fields: username, display name, and the self-declared location field. No private information is ever accessed. Location text is geocoded using Jawg, Geoapify, and Nominatim. Results are displayed as geographic clusters, not searchable individual records.
How do I request removal of my data?
Send an email to florian@bruniaux.com with your GitHub username and confirmation that you own the account. We will delete your profile data and star events within 30 days. Simpler alternative: remove your location from your GitHub profile settings — the next scan will reflect the change automatically.
Not on the map?
Add a location to your GitHub profile at github.com/settings/profile. The next scan of any repo you've starred will pick it up automatically.
