GitHub Repo and Org B2B Lead Intelligence

Find high-signal B2B leads from public GitHub repositories and organizations. This Actor searches GitHub repositories by topic, language, stars, and activity, then scores repos for developer-tool, security, AI, infrastructure, recruiting, and agency sales potential.

What it does

• Searches the public GitHub repository API using your chosen queries.
• Extracts repository, owner, language, stars, forks, open issues, topics, website, and activity timestamps.
• Optionally enriches organization-owned repos with public company name, domain, location, website, email, Twitter username, follower count, and organization age.
• Scores each repo from 0 to 100 using traction, recent activity, organization ownership, website presence, and B2B category signals.
• Filters out forks by default.
• Produces clean dataset rows for sales, recruiting, security, devtools, and investor workflows.

Best use cases

• Devtools companies finding prospects using relevant technologies.
• Security vendors finding active open-source projects and organizations.
• Recruiters discovering fast-moving engineering teams.
• Agencies identifying companies with active technical initiatives.
• Investors and analysts monitoring developer traction by category.

• Hiring signal detection from README and GitHub topics.
• Stateful monitoring for newly active repositories.
