# Trending Python repos this week, with their latest releases

**Use case:** 

Reads the weekly trending list for Python and returns one row per repository with stars, stars gained this week, forks, description and language, then searches GitHub for the week's most-starred Python repos pushed recently and adds the latest releases of two reference repos. Change the language, the period, or paste your own repos and search queries.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [GitHub Repos, Trending & Releases API — No Token Needed](https://apify.com/insight.solutions/github-repos-api.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/insight.solutions/github-repos-api.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/insight.solutions/github-repos-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
