Does github expose an API for linguist?

Question

I looked through the github API docs and couldn't find an answer.

Does github expose linguist information via any API endpoints?

I'm looking to get languages associated with a repo, as detected by linguist.

Answer 1

GitHub exposes the language breakdown as computed by Linguist via the API: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-languages

GET /repos/:owner/:repo/languages
