GitHub Trending Repositories Scraper

Scrape GitHub's trending page — daily, weekly, or monthly — with stars, forks, language, and today's star growth. No login, no API key, no CAPTCHA.

Who this is for

  • Newsletter writers / content creators covering dev tools and open source
  • Recruiters and technical sourcers tracking which languages/frameworks are gaining developer mindshare
  • Investors and market researchers watching adoption signals for AI/dev-tool categories
  • Developers who want a simple daily feed of what's trending, without checking the site manually

Notes

  • Pulls directly from GitHub's public trending HTML page — no authentication needed, so it's low-risk to run on a schedule.
  • Pair with Apify Schedules to get a daily trending snapshot automatically, or Webhooks to push new results into Slack/Discord/a database.
  • GitHub's page markup can change without notice — if this stops returning results, that's the first thing to check.
