GitHub Users Scraper - Developers by Location & Company

What is GitHub Users Scraper?

GitHub Users Scraper is a tool that lets you scrape GitHub users and organizations from GitHub search by keyword, location, company, follower count and repository count: username, profile link, avatar, account type and GitHub ID for every match.

❓FAQ

How much does GitHub Users Scraper cost?

$0.50 per 1,000 profiles, platform usage included. See the cost section above and the Pricing tab.

Do I need a GitHub account or key?

No. The actor works without a GitHub account, login or key.

How many profiles can I get per run?

Up to 100. For more, split your search into several runs, for example by location, company or follower range.

Why did I get fewer profiles than Max results?

Only that many accounts match the query and filters. Try a broader query or fewer filters.

Does it return email addresses, bios or follower counts?

No. It returns what GitHub's user search shows for each match: username, profile link, avatar, type and ID. The follower and repository filters are applied by GitHub during the search. For company, location, bio, follower counts and public emails of a project's contributors, use GitHub Repository Scraper.

Can I search organizations only?

Yes. Set Account type to org.

Is private data included?

No. Only public profiles that GitHub search shows to anyone.

Can I connect GitHub Users Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com.

Is it legal to scrape GitHub?

This actor only collects public profile data that GitHub search shows to anyone. Usernames and profile links are still personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape them for a legitimate reason, such as recruiting with a lawful basis, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
