Scrape GitHub profiles via the official API, or pull every stargazer/forker of a repo as warm leads. Get email, LinkedIn & social accounts, repos, stars, top languages, orgs, README — plus a 0-100 lead score, developer tier & outreach icebreaker. CSV export. $1.9/1K.
All notable changes to this Actor will be documented here.
[1.3] — 2026-06-09
Fixed — input parsing (several URLs in one field)
All input URLs are now processed, not just the first. If you paste
multiple profile/repo URLs into a single field (separated by new lines,
commas, spaces or semicolons), each one is now split out into its own
lookup. Previously a multi-URL blob collapsed into one garbled username and
returned 0–1 results.
Fixed — reliability against GitHub's per-IP rate limit
No more "error (HTTP 403)" / empty runs. The unauthenticated GitHub API
allows only 60 requests/hour per IP, and shared datacenter IPs are often
already throttled — so a single IP could return 403 and the whole lookup
failed. Every core call (profile, repos/stars, social/LinkedIn, repo
stargazers/forkers) now rotates through a pool of fresh IPs and retries
on 403 / 429 / 5xx, only giving up after several IPs are exhausted.
Pool size adapts: 6 IPs without a token, 2 with a githubToken (5000/h).
Net effect: lookups that intermittently returned 0 results now succeed.
(A real 404 — deleted/suspended user — is still reported as not-found.)
[1.2] — 2026-06-07
Added — full parity with HTML-scrape competitors (no token needed)
Achievement badges & highlights (includeAchievements) — Pull Shark,
Starstruck, Arctic Code Vault, Galaxy Brain, etc., plus account highlights
(Pro / Developer Program / Public Sponsor). Parsed from the profile page.
Pinned repositories (includePinnedRepos) — the repos a user pinned,
enriched with stars / forks / language / topics from the already-fetched
repo set (no extra API calls).
Contributions in the last year (includeContributions) — total public
contribution count, a strong recruiting activity signal.
With this release the actor is a strict superset of every competing GitHub
profile scraper: official-API data + repo detail + social/LinkedIn + lead mode
achievements/pinned/contributions + a 0-100 lead score and outreach helpers
that none of them offer.
[1.1] — 2026-06-07
Added — feature superset (close every competitor gap)
Lead mode — paste a repository URL and extract every stargazer or
forker of that repo, hydrated into full lead profiles with a lead score.
Turn any popular repo into a warm B2B prospect list (repoUrls,
repoLeadsSource, maxLeadsPerRepo).
Social accounts — all linked socials via /social_accounts
(LinkedIn / X / YouTube / Mastodon / Instagram …). LinkedIn surfaced as a
dedicated field and added to the lead score + bestContact picker.
Full repository list (includeRepoList) — per-repo stars, forks,
watchers, open issues, language, topics, license, isFork, timestamps.
Bytes-weighted language % (includeLanguageStats) — real code-byte
distribution aggregated over top repos.
Organizations (includeOrganizations), starred repos
(includeStarred) and profile README (includeReadme).
Changed
Lead score now rewards a linked LinkedIn; bestContact prefers
email > LinkedIn > website > Twitter.
SUMMARY reports mode and withLinkedin count.
profileUrls no longer strictly required — provide profileUrls and/or
repoUrls.
[1.0] — 2026-06-06
Changed — official GitHub API engine + richer data
Switched to GitHub's official REST API (api.github.com/users/<login>).
Live, structured data in one fast request — no third-party backend.
Richer fields: name, bio, company, location, public email, blog, Twitter,
avatar, followers/following, public repos & gists, account-creation date.
Repository aggregation (optional): total stars, total forks, top
languages, most-starred repo, original (non-fork) count.
