GitHub Org / Dev-Tool Company Lead Extractor

Turn GitHub into verified dev-tool / SaaS-company sales leads — MX/DNS-validated contact emails, phones, social profiles, tech stack and an A–D lead score, all scraped from the organization's OWN declared website (/orgs/{login} blog field), plus the org's repo traction (total stars / newest push / top repos), an is_verified trust badge, an org-readiness grade, and an "actively maintained within the window" signal.

Per-result pricing. You're charged only when an org returns a real contact signal — not for empty lookups. No API keys, no proxy required (GitHub's REST API is a public keyless endpoint). Supply your own optional GitHub token to lift the keyless rate limit from 60 req/hr to 5,000/hr for larger batches.

Why this exists

GitHub is the largest dev-tool / SaaS company directory on the planet — every dev-tool company has a GitHub organization namespace. Existing GitHub Apify actors are raw profile/email scrapers — they dump usernames or commit metadata and stop there. None produce verified B2B sales leads. This actor is the only one that turns GitHub Organization owners into ready-to-pitch company leads: it discovers repos by topic/language/star qualifiers, rolls them up to Organization-typed owners, walks to the org's own declared blog company website, and verifies a real business contact there (MX/DNS-checked email, phone, socials, tech stack) — the data a B2B sales team actually buys.

Incumbents (raw scrapers, none verified-contact lead-gen): louisdeconinck/github-email-scraper (5,587 totalRuns, no rating), kawsar/github-profile-scraper (1,139 runs), viralanalyzer/github-trending-scraper (376 runs).

What it does

For each GitHub Organization:

1. Discovers repos via GitHub's keyless /search/repositories?q=... (topic/language/star/pushed qualifiers) and/or resolves explicit org-logins/URLs. The search response carries owner.type directly, so the Organization gate needs no extra call.
2. Keeps only Organization-typed owners — User/personal-account owners are dropped (the ToS-clean gate identical to the Show-HN / HuggingFace individual-author skip). GitHub user/org emails are never mined.
3. Resolves the org via /orgs/{login}, which returns the org's OWN declared blog company website (e.g. vercel → vercel.com, puppeteer → pptr.dev) + is_verified trust signal + followers/public_repos/created_at + company/location/twitter_username.
4. Filters honestly: orgs without a declared blog are dropped (no company website to enrich → not billed) — the data-driven equivalent of Docker Hub's bare-official-image drop. Verified-only is optional.
5. Enriches the org's own website with the shared enrichment layer — MX/DNS-verified emails, NANP phones, socials, tech stack, A–D lead score. The /orgs email public-profile address is deliberately not surfaced — contact always comes from the org's own declared site (ToS-clean, identical to the App-Store sellerUrl / Steam website / Docker Hub profile_url / JetBrains vendor.url pattern).
6. Rolls up all of an org's discovered repos into one lead (total stars, newest push, top repos) and emits an org-readiness grade (verified badge + traction + catalog + followers + reachability + maintenance recency → A–D) + a newlyActive flag.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	["topic:developer-tools+stars:>500"]	GitHub search qualifiers passed to /search/repositories (e.g. "topic:developer-tools+stars:>500", "language:rust+stars:>1000", "topic:llm stars:>200").
orgs	array	[]	Explicit GitHub org logins (e.g. vercel) or github.com/{org} URLs.
maxPerQuery	int	25	Cap on repos per search query (1–100). Keyless core limit = 60 req/hr → keep totals modest; supply a token for 5,000/hr.
organizationsOnly	bool	true	Keep only Organization-typed owners (User owners dropped — ToS-clean gate).
blogOnly	bool	true	Keep only orgs that declared their own blog website (the clean hop). Orgs without one are dropped, not billed.
verifiedOrgsOnly	bool	false	Keep only is_verified orgs.
activeWithinDays	int	0	Flag orgs whose newest repo pushed_at is within the trailing N days as newlyActive (0 = off). pushed_at is the newest repo activity, so this is an actively maintained within the window signal, not a created within the window claim.
verifyEmails	bool	true	MX/DNS-validate the best contact email's domain.
githubToken	string	""	Your own optional GitHub PAT (public-read). Empty = keyless (60 req/hr); your token lifts to 5,000/hr. This is YOUR token, entered by you — never stored by us.
concurrency	int	3	Parallel orgs/repos (1–8). Lower if you hit rate limits.
proxyConfiguration	object	{}	Optional — only if you hit IP rate limits.

Provide either searchQueries or orgs (or both).

When an org's own website yields no email, the record still returns honestly — billed as an org_lead if it exposes a phone or social, or hasContact: false (not billed at all) if it exposes nothing.

Real run sample

Verified live on Apify (2026-07-19). The three records below are copied verbatim from the actual run datasets across three distinct inputs — not fabricated or rounded:

• {"searchQueries":["topic:developer-tools+stars:>500"],"maxPerQuery":10} → 7 orgs incl. ComposioHQ (verified, 3 real socials, no email — billed as org_lead only) and rtk-ai (MX-verified contact@rtk-ai.app off its own site, socials: {} honestly empty — billed org_lead + verified_email).
• {"orgs":["vercel","puppeteer","pulumi"]} → 3 orgs incl. pulumi (verified, MX-verified sales@pulumi.com + team@pulumi.com).
• {"searchQueries":["language:python+stars:>10000"],"verifiedOrgsOnly":true,"activeWithinDays":90,"maxPerQuery":8} → 2 verified orgs, both newlyActive: true, incl. TheAlgorithms (MX-verified hello@the-algorithms.com, readiness A, 222,867 stars) and Significant-Gravitas (AutoGPT / agpt.co, 185,599 stars, newestPush today).

The three records illustrate the full range: a verified-email A-grade lead (TheAlgorithms — MX-validated hello@the-algorithms.com off its own site, 222K stars, newlyActive), a verified-org socials-only lead (ComposioHQ — GitHub is_verified, three real company socials, no email exposed so billed org_lead only, not verified_email), and a verified-email lead with no socials (rtk-ai — contact@rtk-ai.app MX-validated, socials: {} honestly empty rather than a junk share-widget URL). Web-form placeholders such as you@company.com (seen on rtk-ai's site pre-cleaning) are dropped — never billed.

Cost

Pay-per-event, charged only on a successful result:

Event	Price	When
org_lead (primary)	$0.008	per org returning at least one real contact signal + their repo traction
verified_email	$0.003	per org yielding an MX/DNS-validated email from its own site
org_signal	$0.001	per org whose newest repo push is within the chosen window
apify-actor-start	$0.0001	one-time run start

Zero upstream compose cost (self-contained: keyless GitHub search/orgs APIs + the org's own public site). Primary event priced well above per-run compute — positive unit margin from day one.

Performance & limits

• Pure keyless JSON (one /search/repositories per query + one /orgs/{login} per org, then one site fetch per org). No anti-bot, no proxy, no API key by default.
• Honest keyless cap: GitHub's core rate limit is 60 req/hr unauthenticated (search has its own 10/min limit) → batch ≤~50 orgs/run wall-clock with throttling. Supply your own githubToken to lift the core limit to 5,000/hr for larger batches.
• The actor retries 429/403-rate-limit responses with backoff, and silently drops orgs it cannot fetch (not billed).
• A maxPerQuery=25 run typically resolves 25 repos → ~10–20 distinct Organization-typed owners after the User/owner gate → 5–15 sellable orgs after the blog-only filter, in well under a minute plus per-org site enrichment.

Troubleshooting

• No results / "no Organization-typed owners" — the qualifiers resolved only to User/personal-account owners. Use org-level qualifiers (topic:, language: + stars:>) or pass explicit org logins via orgs.
• "Org not found / not an org" — an explicit login resolved to a User (404 on /orgs); skipped, not billed. Personal-account owners are deliberately not sold.
• Fewer orgs than repos — expected: repos roll up one-per-org (keyed by owner login), and User + no-blog orgs are dropped.
• Rate-limited (empty search results) — the keyless 60/hr core limit was hit mid-run. Lower concurrency, reduce the batch, or supply your own githubToken.
• newlyActive not set — the org's newest repo push is older than activeWithinDays; widen the window or leave it 0.
• An org you expected has no contact — its blog site exposed no email/phone/social, so hasContact: false and it is not billed at all.

Data sourcing & ToS

Discovery uses GitHub's public keyless /search/repositories + /orgs/{login} REST endpoints. Contact data is scraped only from the organization's OWN declared blog company website — the /orgs email public-profile address and GitHub user/commit/author emails are never mined for outreach (GitHub ToS §H). No login, no API key (optional user token only lifts rate limits), no residential proxy.
