GitHub Release Monitor — Versions & Asset Downloads

Enter public owner/repo names. Export release tags, dates, notes and asset download counts. Track new or changed releases, skip prereleases, and export JSON or CSV without a GitHub token.

No source API key or external AI subscription is required. Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel; JSON keeps nested fields intact.

{
  "repositories": [
    "psf/requests"
  ],
  "maxResults": 3,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Supported scope

Public releases only; unauthenticated GitHub API rate limits apply, especially on shared IPs. No private repos, commits or code downloads. At most 20 repositories, 10 pages per repository, 100 asset summaries per release. Notes are truncated at 2,000 characters. Download counts may change and therefore count as updates. No guarantee of exhaustive history after limits.

Real output example

The following values came from a real test run; values may change.

Pricing

$2 per 1,000 delivered release records, plus $0.001 per run start at 512 MB–1 GB. Native Apify pay-per-event; one result event per successfully delivered row, with no separate automatic dataset-row event. Empty runs still have a start charge. Platform terms and the pricing tab apply. Set Maximum cost per run as well as maxResults. Failed sources do not produce billed error rows.

Monitoring and limits

Set onlyChanges: true and a stateStoreName such as github-monitor-state. First run emits NEW; later runs skip unchanged records and emit UPDATED for changes. Use a distinct store for each monitor, and do not overlap runs sharing the same state. State retains up to 10,000 recent fingerprints; evicted records can appear NEW again. No deletions are inferred from incomplete pages. Only successfully delivered results update state.

maxResults caps delivered rows; unchanged rows can still require source requests. maxPages, source list limits, maxRequests (up to 300), a 240-second processing deadline, and a 40 MB download budget bound work. RUN_REPORT shows counts, errors, unchanged skips and truncation warnings. PARTIAL means some sources failed; successful empty searches and unchanged monitors can return zero rows. Access restrictions and rate limits are reported, not bypassed.

This Actor only reads public data. It does not install packages, execute external code, send customer messages or create schedules. You can save an Apify Task and schedule it yourself. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the source platform.
