Weighting
Section titled “Weighting”size_weight and count_weight decide what “most” means, and they are multiplied:
size_weight=1&count_weight=0 ranks by bytes of code, 0 and 1 ranks by how many repositories
use the language, and 1 and 1 by both. The default is bytes.
What comes back
Section titled “What comes back”A TopLangData — every language keyed by name, each with its size, its count and the colour
GitHub gives it. Nothing is truncated: langs_count is the card’s business, not the fetcher’s.
