🐙 GitHub Profile Scraper & Lead Finder

Scrape any public GitHub profile via GitHub's official API — or paste a repository URL and pull every stargazer / forker as a ready-to-use lead list. Returns identity, email, LinkedIn & all social accounts, repositories, total stars, languages, organizations and the profile README — then layers on a 0-100 lead score, developer tier and a ready-to-send outreach icebreaker.

Built for recruiters, B2B sales, devtool marketers and OSS researchers. No browser, official API, only successful results are billed.

Two modes

1. Profile mode — usernames in, enriched profiles out

Paste usernames or https://github.com/NAME URLs. Get the full profile + intelligence layer.

2. Lead mode — repo in, developer leads out ⭐

Paste a repository URL (https://github.com/OWNER/REPO). The actor pulls every developer who starred (or forked) that repo and hydrates each into a complete lead profile with a lead score.

"Find every developer who starred my competitor's repo" — turn any popular repository into a warm B2B prospect list. Filter by lead score, followers, stars, hireable status or public email.

What makes this the most complete GitHub actor

Capability	This actor	Typical competitor
Official GitHub API (live, accurate)	✅	Some HTML-scrape (fragile)
Email (public)	✅	Sometimes
LinkedIn + all social accounts	✅	Rarely
Repo aggregates (stars, forks, top languages)	✅	Sometimes
Full repo list (topics, license, issues, forks)	✅	Rarely
Bytes-weighted language %	✅	❌
Organizations, starred repos, profile README	✅	Rarely
Achievement badges + highlights	✅	Some
Pinned repos (enriched)	✅	Some
Contributions in the last year	✅	Some
Stargazer / forker lead extraction	✅	Rarely
0-100 lead score + tier + reasons	✅	❌
Outreach icebreaker + best contact	✅	❌
Filters (followers / stars / score / hireable / email)	✅	❌
Proxy IP rotation (beats 60 req/h limit)	✅	Often none
Per-user fault isolation (one error ≠ dead batch)	✅	Often batch-halting
CSV / JSON export	✅	Varies

In lead mode each record also carries leadSource: { "type": "stargazers", "repo": "apify/crawlee" }.

Enable includeRepoList, includeLanguageStats, includeOrganizations, includeStarred, includeReadme, includeAchievements, includePinnedRepos or includeContributions to add those sections.

Lead score

A transparent 0-100 score (with human-readable leadReasons) computed from followers, total stars, public repos, account age, public email, LinkedIn, company and hireable status. Tiers: cold / warm / hot / scorching. Sort or filter on it to surface the best prospects first.

Pricing

• $0.0019 per profile ($1.9 per 1,000) — pay per result, no subscription.
• A failed / not-found / private lookup is never charged.
• In lead mode you pay one profile lookup per stargazer/forker hydrated.

Rate limits & token

GitHub allows ~60 requests/hour per IP unauthenticated; the actor rotates Apify proxy IPs to spread load. For large batches or lead mode, add an optional read-only GitHub token to raise the limit to 5000/hour. No scopes needed.

Use cases

• Recruiting — find hireable developers with public emails, filter by language and activity.
• B2B / devtool sales — extract stargazers of a competitor's repo as warm leads, scored and ready for outreach.
• OSS community growth — identify influential users who starred your project.
• Market & competitor research — map a company's engineers, their stacks and orgs.
• CRM enrichment — append GitHub + LinkedIn data to existing contacts.

Notes

• Only publicly available data is extracted. email and linkedin appear only when the user has set them public.
• totalStars / totalForks are aggregated over the sampled repos (cap maxRepos, GitHub page ceiling 100).
• languageStats percentages are bytes-weighted from GitHub's per-repo language endpoint (top repos).
