GitHub Repo Activity Tracker

Track repo health + activity for any GitHub repo list: stars, forks, last commit, recent commits/PRs/releases (configurable window), top contributors, languages, license, topics. VC sourcing + open-source ops + competitor intel. BYO token recommended. $0.002 per repo.


Why this exists

VCs and product managers need to track 50-200 GitHub repos to spot:

  • Pre-traction breakouts (rapid star growth)
  • Maintenance signals (no commits in 60+ days = abandoned)
  • Contributor base depth (1-person project vs healthy community)
  • Release cadence (active project ships releases)

Manually checking via github.com is too slow. The GitHub API has the data but writing the per-repo aggregation logic is tedious. This actor handles it in one call for a batch of repos.

Quick start

Track a batch of repos (default 30-day window)

{
"repos": [
"apify/apify-cli",
"anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python",
"vercel/next.js",
"openai/openai-python"
]
}

Single repo with 90-day window

{
"repo": "microsoft/vscode",
"activityWindowDays": 90
}
{
"repos": [...],
"githubToken": "ghp_xxx"
}

A personal access token at github.com/settings/tokens (no scopes needed for public repos) raises rate limit from 60/hour to 5000/hour.


Pricing

Pay-Per-Event: $0.002 per repo tracked.

Use cases

  1. VC sourcing — Schedule daily across 100 candidate repos; alert on star growth > X%
  2. Open-source ops — Track health of OS deps your team relies on
  3. Competitor intel — Watch competitors' open releases + commit cadence
  4. Engineering candidate eval — Pull a candidate's public repos quickly
  5. Conference/newsletter content — "10 trending repos this week" feeds

Rate limits

Without token: 60 req/h (each repo uses ~7 calls). With token: 5000 req/h.

For batches > 8 repos without a token, you'll hit the limit. Add a token.
