## 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

## GitHub Repository Insights

Turn any GitHub repo URL or search query into a structured profile: stars history, contributors, languages, dependency files, license, and a composite **health score** — no more reading READMEs manually.

### The Health Score (unique differentiator)

Each repo gets a `/100` health score computed from:
- **Commit recency** (0–40 pts): Was the repo pushed in the last 7 days? 90 days?
- **Issue ratio** (0–30 pts): Open issues relative to stars — lower is healthier
- **Contributor diversity** (0–30 pts): Number of unique contributors

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `repoUrls` | string[] | — | GitHub URLs or `owner/repo` strings |
| `searchQuery` | string | — | GitHub search query (used if repoUrls is empty) |
| `maxRepos` | integer | 10 | Max repos to process |
| `includeReadme` | boolean | true | Include README summary |
| `includeDependencies` | boolean | false | Fetch package.json / requirements.txt |
| `includeContributors` | boolean | true | Fetch top 10 contributors |

# 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 = {
    "repoUrls": [
        "https://github.com/vercel/next.js"
    ],
    "searchQuery": "topic:llm stars:>500"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("lovely_radiologist/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);
});

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("lovely_radiologist/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():
