# Gitea / Forgejo Forge Extractor (`datamule/gitea-forge-extractor`) Actor Point at any Gitea or Forgejo instance (Codeberg, gitea.com, self-hosted) and get one structured row per repository: stars, forks, language, topics, license, issues/PR counts, timestamps and more. - **URL**: https://apify.com/datamule/gitea-forge-extractor.md - **Developed by:** [Datamule](https://apify.com/datamule) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.35 / 1,000 repos This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Gitea / Forgejo Forge Extractor Point at **any** Gitea or Forgejo instance and get one clean, structured row per repository — stars, forks, language, topics, license, issue/PR counts and timestamps — as a flat dataset you can filter, diff, inventory, or feed into an OSINT / dependency-research / supply-chain pipeline. [Gitea](https://gitea.com) (the dominant self-hosted Git forge) and its fork [Forgejo](https://codeberg.org) — which powers **Codeberg** — expose the **identical** `/api/v1` REST API: the "GitHub API for the self-hosted world". Thousands of independent instances (corporate, university, hobbyist, plus Codeberg's 100 000+ repos) speak the same grammar, so this one actor works against all of them. No per-host scraper, no instance enumeration: give it an instance URL and it enumerates the repositories. ### Modes (auto-selected from your input) | You set… | Mode | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `query` / `topic` / `language` | **search** | `GET /api/v1/repos/search` — one row per matching repo across the whole instance | | `org` | **org** | `GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos` — every repo in an organization | | `owner` + `repo` | **repo** | `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}` — a single repository's full detail (the only mode that returns the license object) | | *(none of the above)* | **discovery** | `GET /api/v1/version` + a probe — one row describing the instance: software (Gitea vs Forgejo), version, repo-count estimate | ### What you get One dataset row per repository, with every standard field flattened and safely nullable (a repo — or a whole forge — that omits a field simply yields `null`): | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `fullName` / `name` | Repository name (`owner/repo` and short) | | `ownerLogin` / `ownerType` | Owner login and type (User / Organization) | | `description` | Repository description | | `language` | Primary language | | `stars` / `forks` / `watchers` | Popularity counters | | `openIssues` / `openPRs` / `releases` | Open issue, open PR, release counts | | `sizeKb` | Repository size (KB) | | `defaultBranch` | Default branch | | `topics` | Topic tags | | `license` | License name (from the repo-detail license object) | | `fork` / `archived` / `mirror` / `empty` / `private` / `template` / `internal` | State flags | | `hasIssues` / `hasWiki` / `hasPullRequests` / `hasProjects` | Enabled features | | `htmlUrl` / `cloneUrl` / `sshUrl` / `website` | Links | | `createdAt` / `updatedAt` / `pushedAt` | Timestamps | | `_raw` | The lossless original repo entry | | `_source` / `_mode` / `_software` / `_version` / `_repoCount` | Instance URL, run mode, Gitea-vs-Forgejo fingerprint, version, total repo count | ### Input | Field | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `baseUrl` | ✅ | Instance root, e.g. `https://codeberg.org` or `https://gitea.com`. `/api/v1` is appended for you. | | `query` | | Repository search term (search mode). | | `topic` | | Restrict to a topic tag (search mode). | | `language` | | Restrict to a primary language (search mode). | | `sort` / `order` | | Sort field / direction (search mode). | | `org` | | Enumerate an organization's repositories (org mode). | | `owner` + `repo` | | Fetch a single repository's detail (repo mode). | | `maxRecords` | | Global cap on emitted rows (each row = one billable repo). | | `bearer` | | Access token for a private / rate-limited instance. Never logged. | | `extraHeaders` | | Extra request headers (JSON object). Never logged. | #### Examples Search Codeberg (Forgejo) for Python repositories: ```json { "baseUrl": "https://codeberg.org", "query": "python", "maxRecords": 100 } ```` Every repository in an organization: ```json { "baseUrl": "https://codeberg.org", "org": "forgejo" } ``` One repository's full detail: ```json { "baseUrl": "https://gitea.com", "owner": "gitea", "repo": "tea" } ``` Fingerprint an unknown instance (discovery): ```json { "baseUrl": "https://git.example.org" } ``` ### Notes - **Gitea *and* Forgejo:** both answer `/api/v1`; the actor fingerprints which (and the version) into `_software` / `_version`. Fields are read by key presence, so the small differences in which optional fields each populates never break a run — a missing column is simply `null`. - **Large instances:** a broad search on Codeberg (100k+ repos) can return thousands of results. Use `maxRecords` and/or a narrower `query` / `language` / `topic` to scope a run; pagination stops as soon as the cap is reached. - **Per-instance access:** some instances require sign-in or registration for the API. Supply a `bearer` token for those; public instances need nothing. - **Honest failure:** if `baseUrl` isn't a Gitea/Forgejo instance (an HTML error page, a 404, or JSON without the expected shape) the run fails fast rather than emitting empty rows. An empty *search* (a valid query that matches nothing) returns 0 rows and exits cleanly. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: **one `repo` charge per emitted repository row.** You only pay for the repositories you extract. # Actor input Schema ## `baseUrl` (type: `string`): Root URL of a Gitea or Forgejo instance. Gitea and Forgejo (which powers Codeberg) expose the identical /api/v1 REST API, so one actor works against any of them: https://codeberg.org (Forgejo), https://gitea.com (reference Gitea), or any self-hosted / corporate / university instance. The /api/v1 path is appended for you (paste either the root or the /api/v1 URL). The run MODE is chosen automatically from the other fields you set (see below). ## `query` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE (default). A repository search term — matches repo names/descriptions across the whole instance via GET /api/v1/repos/search. Combine with language / topic / sort. Leave every mode field empty to run DISCOVERY mode (a single row describing the instance: software, version, repo count). ## `topic` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE. Restrict the search to repositories tagged with this exact topic (e.g. kubernetes, gamedev). Uses the instance's topic-only search. If both query and topic are set, topic takes the search keyword. ## `language` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE. Restrict results to a primary programming language (e.g. Go, Python, Rust). Matches the instance's own language index. ## `sort` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE. Optional sort field. Gitea/Forgejo commonly accept: alpha, created, updated, size, id (older) or newest, oldest, moststars, feweststars, mostforks, fewestforks (newer). Left as free text so any instance's accepted value passes through. Leave empty for the instance default (relevance). ## `order` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE. Sort direction: asc or desc. Only used with sort. ## `org` (type: `string`): ORG MODE. Set an organization (or user-org) name to enumerate ALL of its repositories via GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos (paginated). Overrides search mode when set. Example: forgejo (on codeberg.org). ## `owner` (type: `string`): REPO MODE. The owner (user or org) of a single repository. Set together with repo to fetch exactly one repository's full detail via GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}. Example owner: forgejo. ## `repo` (type: `string`): REPO MODE. The repository name. Set together with owner to fetch a single repository's full detail (this is the only mode that returns the license object). Example repo: forgejo. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): A GLOBAL cap on the number of repository rows to emit (each row is one repository and one billable event). Pagination stops as soon as the cap is reached, so a small value is a cheap, deterministic sample. Leave empty to fetch every matching repository — a broad search on a large instance (Codeberg has 100k+ repos) can return thousands. ## `bearer` (type: `string`): Optional access token for a private / registration-required / rate-limited instance (sent as Authorization: Bearer \*\*\*). Not required for public repositories. Never logged. ## `extraHeaders` (type: `object`): Optional extra HTTP headers as a JSON object, e.g. {"x-api-key": "..."} for gated instances. Not required for public repositories. Header values are never logged. ## Actor input object example ```json { "baseUrl": "https://codeberg.org" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "baseUrl": "https://codeberg.org" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("datamule/gitea-forge-extractor").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
