Github Repository Metadata Export OpenAPI definition

You can start Github Repository Metadata Export with the Apify API by sending an HTTP POST request to the Run Actorendpoint. An Actor’s input and its content type can be passed as a payload of the POST request, and additional options can be specified using URL query parameters. The Github Repository Metadata Export is identified within the API by its ID, which is the creator’s username and the name of the Actor.

When the Github Repository Metadata Export run finishes you can list the data from its default dataset(storage) via the API or you can preview the data directly on Apify Console.
