How to apply
What to do:
Write a small application that queries GitHub's API and returns 500 repos with the topic "php"(https://developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-repositories). Your application should expose the following endpoints:
- /api/php - returns 500 repositories with the topic "php", without any filter or sorting.
- /api/popularity/php - returns the 500 repositories sorted by popularity (stargazers_count)
- /api/activity/php - returns the 500 repositories sorted by activity (updated_at)
Some notes:
- Your responses should be in JSON format. Each repository in the response should only contain the fields id, name, full_name, html_url, language, updated_at, pushed_at and stargazers_count.
- Don't use GitHub’s API query params to sort the results. Instead, retrieve the default results and sort them yourself.
- You must use Laravel as a framework.
Bonus points:
- Enable pagination on your results (query params on your endpoints)
Please include instructions on how to run the application locally so that it can be tested on a *nix operating system.
