GitHub Scraper 🐙

Pull structured GitHub data — repositories, users, and search results — straight from the official GitHub API. Stars, forks, language, topics, license, owner, followers, and dates, in one clean feed.

Great for developer-tool market research, OSS trend tracking, recruiting/talent sourcing, competitor analysis, and OSINT.

Modes

  • Search repositories — by any GitHub query (language:python topic:ai stars:>1000).
  • Search users — find users/orgs by query.
  • Repository details — full metadata for owner/name repos.
  • A user's repositories — list everything a user/org owns.
  • User details — profile, followers, public repo count.

Input

{
"mode": "searchRepositories",
"queries": ["language:python topic:ai stars:>1000"],
"sort": "stars",
"maxItems": 100,
"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Optional githubToken raises the rate limit to 5000/hour; without it, proxy rotation spreads unauthenticated requests across IPs.

Output (repository row)

{
"type": "repository",
"full_name": "openai/whisper",
"owner": "openai",
"stars": 68000,
"forks": 8100,
"language": "Python",
"topics": ["speech-recognition", "ml"],
"license": "MIT",
"created_at": "2022-09-16T...",
"pushed_at": "2026-07-10T...",
"url": "https://github.com/openai/whisper"
}

Notes

  • Uses the official, documented GitHub REST API — stable and legal.
  • Search API returns up to 1000 results per query.
  • The account running the Actor pays for proxy usage.
