The API module supports having multiple projects/branches on the site, if you add them as configuration either manually or via Drush.
It would be desirable to set up projects/branches by getting the data from the Drupal Git system instead. There is an API for getting the project list:
https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/api →
And then the update status XML would tell us which projects/branches have releases:
http://updates.drupal.org/release-history/project-list/all
Here's some sample code that uses this API:
http://cgit.drupalcode.org/l10n_server/tree/connectors/l10n_drupal_rest
Make a sub-module of the API project that will read data on projects/branches from the Drupal Git API and update the project/branch list in the API module appropriately.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
The current version of the module only needs the https git URL and it will download all branches automatically and set them up in separate folders. There is also a drush command to upsert projects or branches. This approach covers many of the points mentioned above.
Getting more projects could be automated if needed with the above commands. Closing this as outdated.
