GitHub Repositories Scraper — Search, Trending & Stars

Scrape GitHub repositories by search (full GitHub syntax: language:, stars:>, topic:, pushed:>, org:...), the Trending page (today, this week, this month, any language) or repository URLs: stars, forks, watchers, language, topics, license, homepage, open issues, size, created / updated / last push dates and owner. Turn on owner profile to add the owner's public email, website, company, location, X handle, followers and bio.

Built for developer-tool marketing and DevRel outreach, open-source market research, tech trend tracking and investor scouting.

Why this one

• The real GitHub search syntax, up to 1,000 repositories per search.
• Trending with rank and stars gained in the period.
• Owner contacts for outreach (only what owners made public).
• Works without a token: when GitHub rate-limits, it rotates IPs. Add your own token for maximum speed.

Input

Popular Python LLM projects and this week's trending Python repositories, with owner profiles:

{
  "searchQueries": ["topic:llm language:python stars:>500"],
  "sortBy": "stars",
  "maxReposPerSearch": 300,
  "trending": true,
  "trendingLanguages": ["python"],
  "trendingPeriod": "weekly",
  "includeOwnerProfile": true
}

Tips

• For more than 1,000 results, split the search by stars (stars:500..1000, stars:>1000) or by date (created:2025-01-01..2025-06-30).

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results delivered, at a fixed price per item. Apify platform usage is included in that price, so there are no compute costs on top. Errors and items that couldn't be found are free.

What you get	Price	Example
Repository with owner profile	$0.0015 each	1,000 repositories with owner profile = $1.50
Repository	$0.0005 each	1,000 repositories = $0.50

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, enough for about 3,333 repositories with owner profile per month at no cost. You can also set a maximum spend per run.

On paid Apify plans it gets cheaper automatically: 10% off on Starter, 20% on Scale and 30% on Business.
