## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## GitHub Developers, Tech Talent & Email Leads Scraper

Find and extract **verified software engineers, AI developers, open-source contributors, and tech leads** by programming language, country/city location, follower count, or custom keyword. Automatically extracts **verified public emails, hireable status, current company, portfolio/blog URLs, Twitter/X handles, top languages, `techLeadScore` (0–100), and ready-to-send `recruiterPitchAngle`** — with **zero browser overhead**.

### Why Choose This Actor for Tech Recruiting & B2B DevTool Sales?

| Feature | Our Actor (`mamang_warkop`) | Standard GitHub Scrapers |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Recruiter-First B2B Scoring** | Computes **`techLeadScore` (0–100)** and generates a **personalized `recruiterPitchAngle`** ready for cold email outreach or LinkedIn InMail. | Raw unranked profile dumps. |
| **Smart Email Discovery** | Extracts verified public emails from both the GitHub profile and developer bios. | Often misses emails embedded in bio descriptions. |
| **Rich Multi-Filter Search** | Search simultaneously by **Language** (`Python`, `Rust`, `Solidity`), **Location** (`San Francisco`, `Jakarta`, `London`), **Min Followers**, **Min Repos**, or **`hireableOnly`**. | Basic single-keyword search only. |
| **Top Languages Fingerprinting** | Automatically analyzes recent public repositories to detect the developer's primary active programming languages. | Missing from standard user search. |
| **Speed & Rate-Limit Freedom** | High-speed concurrent async engine. Supports optional personal token for **5,000 requests/hour** or runs completely token-free on public endpoints. | Slow browser crawlers that get blocked or take minutes to finish. |

### Step-by-Step Usage Guide (Panduan Penggunaan)

#### Option A: Run in Apify Console UI (Zero Coding)

1. **Enter Search Keywords or Filters (`searchQueries`):** Enter target tech niches (e.g., `"AI engineer"`, `"LLM"`, `"Solidity"`, `"DevOps"`).
2. **Set Filters:**
   - **`language`:** Target language (`python`, `typescript`, `rust`, `go`, `c++`, etc.).
   - **`location`:** Target geography (`"United States"`, `"Indonesia"`, `"Germany"`, `"Singapore"`, etc.).
   - **`minFollowers`:** Set minimum influence threshold (e.g., `20` followers).
   - **`hireableOnly`:** Check this box if you only want candidates actively open for job offers (`hireable: true`).
3. Click **Start**, then export your candidate list as **CSV, Excel, or JSON**.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mamang_warkop/github-developers-and-tech-leads-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
