Get contextual information for a user

Provides hovercard information. You can find out more about someone in relation to their pull requests, issues, repositories, and organizations.

The subject_type and subject_id parameters provide context for the person's hovercard, which returns more information than without the parameters. For example, if you wanted to find out more about octocat who owns the Spoon-Knife repository, you would use a subject_type value of repository and a subject_id value of 1300192 (the ID of the Spoon-Knife repository).

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo scope to use this endpoint.
