    Ranks a topic's GitHub repositories by star velocity (stars gained ÷ √stars before) over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, with the stars each gained. Ranks are the topic's own: when one is skipped, left_out says how many repositories Upstar does not show there and why. Page with offset (next_offset).
