GitHub Emojis API

The GitHub Emojis API is a simple REST endpoint (GET /emojis or https://api.github.com/emojis) that returns a JSON dictionary mapping emoji shortcodes (like "smile" or "octocat") to the image URLs GitHub uses to render them. It covers both standard Unicode emoji and GitHub-specific custom ones, enabling clients to power emoji pickers, autocomplete for :shortcodes:, validation, or server-side rendering in apps that mirror GitHubs formatting.
