@NickB-30 Thanks for your question. I think your issue is related to #1789 and FAQ#language-card-related-questions. I will, however, also answer it here. I checked your username's stats card and believe the results are correct as you don't have any repositories from which GitHub can report language results. You can check this out yourself by using the following query in the graphql explorer:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    # fetch only owner repos & not forks
    repositories(ownerAffiliations: OWNER, isFork: false, first: 100) {
      nodes {
        name
        languages(first: 10, orderBy: {field: SIZE, direction: DESC}) {
          edges {
            size
            node {
              color
              name
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You can then use the following in the query variables field.

{"login": "NickB-30"}

The public Vercel instance cannot access your private repositories, so it can not show language results. If you want the result for your private repositories to show up you can create your own vercel instance (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#deploy-on-your-own-vercel-instance).

@rickstaa I already tested it and got this answer:

I don't know if is that what I want to receive or I wanted something else, remind that in (login: $login) I put (login: "assebc"). I also checked if it is indeed in the right commit and it confirmes! I also tested my domain with other usernames and it worked, don't know why it does not function with mine. Ps: The original one works fine, but I created the deployed version to check my private repositories!

@essebc That error means that your syntax is not correct. You should place the login in the variable field like so:

Since I can not reproduce the issue, I am afraid I can not help you any further. You can build and debug the code on your local computer using the Vscode debugger. This will allow you to check which data or errors are returned using your username (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and https://github.com/vercel/vercel/issues/2864#issuecomment-963533339https://github.com/vercel/vercel/issues/2864#issuecomment-963533339 for more info).

Thank you so much @rickstaa you helped a lot!

I also noticed that you orphaned the repository instead of forking it (see https://github.com/assebc/github-readme-stats). In that case, I am afraid I cannot help you since the commit histories are unrelated. I would advise you not to orphan repositories but to work with forks as this aligns with the Git philosophy. The following syntax should work with your custom URL when you deploy the Vercel instance from a fork:

[![Top Langs](https://<YOUR_CUSTOM_URL>/api/top-langs/?username=assebc)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)

An additional benefit of using forks instead of orphans is that you can easily keep the fork up to date with, for example, the sync fork button:

My language card is not fetching data
Please help

Hey, @Swapnaroop2001! The card shows message "No languages data," because it actually doesn't have any data to show. It doesn't count forked repositories.

[vitorabujamra]

Count private repositories?
I create a Vercel App for myself and yet dont show any data

https://github-readme-stats-lime-kappa.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=vitorabujamra&theme=dark
Even my username dont show my private commits

https://github-readme-stats-lime-kappa.vercel.app/api?username=vitorabujamra&include_all_commits=true&count_private=true&show_icons=true&theme=dark

[qwerty541]

@vitorabujamra To show your private repositories data on the card you have to use own Vercel deployment and GitHub personal access token with enabled repo and user permissions as on screenshots.

I just did it!

Thanks!!
