Getting all GitHub users through github-api

Question

The GitHub API documentation says that the url

https://api.github.com/users

will give all users in the order they signed up, but I only seem to get the first 135.

Any ideas how to get the real full list?

Answer 1

Please use since parameter in your GET request.

https://api.github.com/users?since=XXX

Probably it's done this way to limit the resources needed to handle such request. Without such limit it's just asking for DoS attack.
