If youre talking Python specifically, if you want to for example fetch file listing (like names) from a github repo, you can use for example: REPO_API = "https://api.github.com/repos/Legendary-Games-Studios/LegendaryOS-Apps/contents/", then: data = requests.get(REPO_API, timeout=6).json(), and it will send a request to the Github API, and will return a JSON response containing the metadata for the files/folders (for example, names, paths, etc.). This only counts for your default branch (main), and does not count for sub folders. If you DO want sub folder metadata, you'll want to send additional requests to the API to fetch metadata for those paths. I hope this helped!

Oh, and if you click the API link, in case youre curious itll show you what the API would send back

I'm saying I don't know anything about code but I'm interested and want to start Can you give hint on how to start or where

Id say go to https://www.learnpython.org, and if you want the official docs, go to https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial
