This paper explores an approach to extracting historical insights into a software keyword by data mining GitHub and Libraries.io. We test our method using the keyword GraphQL to see what insights we can gain. We managed to plot several timelines of how repositories and software libraries related to our keyword were created over time. We could also do a rudimentary analysis of how active said items were. We also extracted programing language data associated with each repository and library from GitHub and Libraries.io. With this data, we could, at worst, correlate which programming languages were associated with each item or, in the best case, predict what implementations of GraphQL they used. We found through our attempt many problems and caveats that needed to be dealt with but still concluded that extracting historical insights by data mining GitHub and Libraries.io is worthwhile.
