## Notes

- The `/sponsors/user/` and `/count/user/` endpoints got themselves an official API (as of June of 2021)! you can use them like this: (https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/3818)

```gql
query {
  user(login: "filiptronicek") {
    ... on Sponsorable {
      sponsors(first: 100) {
        totalCount
        nodes {
          ... on User { login }
          ... on Organization { login }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
- The `/sponsoring/user/` endpoint is implemented in the GraphQL API since August of 2021, usable like this: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/3818#discussioncomment-1131586

```gql
query {
  user(login: "cheshire137") {
    sponsoring(first: 10) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        ... on User { login }
        ... on Organization { login }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
