## Changelog

### 2026-07-10

*Features*

- Initial release of GitHub Contributors Scraper for exporting ranked contributor lists from public GitHub repositories.
- Supports `owner/repo` values and full GitHub repository URLs.
- Saves contributor login, GitHub ID, type, profile URL, avatar URL, contribution count, rank, repository URL, and scrape timestamp.
- Adds optional repository metadata enrichment for stars, forks, language, open issues, description, default branch, and archive status.
- Adds optional public user profile enrichment for name, company, location, bio, followers, following, public repos, and public email when GitHub exposes it.

*Safety*

- Uses the official public GitHub REST API, conservative defaults, pagination via GitHub `Link` headers, and optional user-provided GitHub token support for higher quotas.
