Scrape public GitHub user profiles — no login, no API token, no rate-limit headaches from the GitHub REST API. Returns name, bio, company, location, website, Twitter/X handle, followers/following counts, public repo count, and pinned repo names.

Input

FieldTypeDescription

usernamesarrayOptional: several usernames at once
maxItemsintegerMax profiles to scrape (default 20)

Example:

{
"usernames": ["torvalds", "gaearon", "sindresorhus"],
"maxItems": 20
}

Output

{
"username": "torvalds",
"name": "Linus Torvalds",
"bio": null,
"company": "Linux Foundation",
"location": "Portland, OR",
"websiteUrl": null,
"twitterHandle": null,
"followers": 235000,
"following": 0,
"publicRepos": 9,
"pinnedRepos": ["linux", "subsurface-for-dirk", "test-tlb"],
"profileUrl": "https://github.com/torvalds",
"scrapedAt": "2026-07-17T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Common uses

  • Sourcing/recruiting research on developers
  • Enriching a list of GitHub usernames with profile metadata
  • Tracking follower growth or pinned-repo changes over time
  • Open-source contributor and maintainer research

Notes

If a username doesn't exist, the output row for it will contain error: "not-found" instead of profile fields. Follower/following/repo counts are read from GitHub's exact title attribute when available, falling back to parsing abbreviated display text (e.g. "1.2k") otherwise.
