## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

Pulls deep analytics for GitHub repos: stars, forks, contributor distribution
(**bus factor**), release cadence, language mix, recent commit activity, and a
transparent **Health Score 0–100**.

Two modes: **search** (by query, language, stars, last-push) or **list**
(fixed `owner/repo`). Free GitHub token recommended for 5000 req/h rate-limit.

Run on the top 200 Python repos and you find: 41 of 200 have bus factor = 1
(FastAPI, Whisper, ComfyUI, …), 10 popular projects had 0 commits in the last
4 weeks, 12 still have no license. See the full README for fields, the
Health Score formula, and use cases.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

How to choose repositories to analyze.
## `query` (type: `string`):

GitHub search syntax. Used only when mode = search. Example: 'machine learning' or 'topic:llm'. Filters from this form are appended automatically.
## `language` (type: `string`):

Restrict by primary language (e.g. Python, Rust, TypeScript). Empty = any.
## `minStars` (type: `integer`):

Only repositories with at least this many stars.
## `pushedSince` (type: `string`):

Skip stagnant repos. Empty = no filter.
## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort order for search mode.
## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on how many repositories to analyze in this run. Each repo costs ~5 GitHub API calls.
## `repos` (type: `array`):

Used only when mode = list. Items in the form 'owner/repo'.
## `githubToken` (type: `string`):

Personal access token. Strongly recommended — without it GitHub gives only 60 requests/hour. With a token: 5000/hour.
## `includeContributors` (type: `boolean`):

Adds an extra API call per repo. Disable to save quota.
## `includeReleases` (type: `boolean`):

Computes average days between releases. Adds an API call per repo.
## `includeLanguages` (type: `boolean`):

Bytes of code per language. Adds an API call per repo.

# Actor output Schema

## `datasetItems` (type: `string`):

All analyzed repositories, one row each.

## `datasetOverviewLink` (type: `string`):

Open the dataset using the table view defined in this Actor.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("kremkov-stanislav/github-repo-insights").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("kremkov-stanislav/github-repo-insights").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
