[
  {
    owner: 'bcoe',
    repo: 'top-npm-users',
    description: ':star: Generate a list of top npm users by based on monthly downloads.',
    language: 'JavaScript',

stars.js

'use strict'

const got = require('got')

const stars = (user) =>
	got(`https://api.github.com/users/${user}/starred`)
	.then((res) => JSON.parse(res.body))
	.then((starred) => starred.map((s) => ({
		  owner:       s.owner.login
		, repo:        s.name
		, description: s.description
		, language:    s.language
		, isFork:      false
		, stargazers:  s.stargazers_count
		, watchers:    s.watchers_count
	})))

stars('jonschlinkert').then(console.log)

https://api.github.com/users/${user}/starred

gives me the list, how do I get the total number of starred repo so I can run request using that api for the list in parallel?

you can use this trick:

Bonus tips, since no one mentioned it here: the query only shows the most recent 30 stars. If the user has more than that, you may want to use the page=${num} URL attribute, to navigate the least recent stars. Page 1 is implicit and is from the 1st to 30th most recent stars, page 2 is from the 31th to 60th most recent stars, and so on. For example, https://api.github.com/users/${user}/starred?&page=2.
