Description

Describe the bug 2 of 20 attempts to look up scorecards for different dependencies failed, getting consistent error for the 2 dependencies that the report is not found.

Reproduction steps Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Visit github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-android-performance to confirm the repository exists. Visit https://scorecard.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-android-performance to observe corresponding scorecard is not found.
  2. Visit github.com/bincode-org/bincode to confirm the repository exists. Visit https://scorecard.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/bincode-org/bincode to observe corresponding scorecard is not found.

Expected behavior A scorecard report is available. Alternatively, a more detailed reason of why the scorecard is not found, and how to remediate that issue.

Additional context None.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the logic for fetching scorecard reports, specifically why certain repositories return 'report not found' while the repositories exist. Check the URL construction and any caching or rate limiting mechanisms.
