# Need a starting point

 * I know the description of this plugin mentions that it doesn’t offer any sample
   on how to make api calls but I was wondering if you could perhaps offer one example
   of how one would make a call similar to your “get_repo_info()” function in tools.
   php but within a template page.
 * I have been trying to decipher tools.php to do it myself but haven’t had any 
   luck.
 * How would I make a call to the api to get a particular repo’s info (even if its
   just returning json) from within my index.php template file?
 * Any tips are appreciated.
 * Thanks!
