GitHub Contributors Email Scraper

👥 See who contributes to public GitHub repositories

Open-source maintainers, engineering teams, and developer relations teams can use this Actor to find contributors in public GitHub repositories or a public GitHub organization. Each row connects a contributor to a repository and includes contribution count and rank, public account details, source links, and repository facts. Optional profile enrichment and public commit evidence add more context for research and review.

Use cases

• Build a contributor list with GitHub Contributors from public repository URLs.
• Compare rows by source with GitHub Contributors By Repository.
• Collect organization results with GitHub Organization Contributors.
• Review the highest-ranked accounts with GitHub Top Contributors.
• Check contribution totals with GitHub Contribution Count.
• Add public profile details with GitHub Contributor Profile.
• Export public commit email evidence with GitHub Contributor Emails.

📊 Ranked GitHub contributor rows

Dataset rows

Each dataset row joins one contributor to the public repository where the contributor was found. It includes contribution count and rank, account type, profile and avatar links, public emails when GitHub reports them, and repository facts such as stars, forks, language, open issues, default branch, and archive state. Profile enrichment and commit evidence add the optional fields described below. Missing public values stay null or empty as the schema shows.

🔍 Build contributor lists from public GitHub sources

How it works

1. Choose public repository URLs or one public GitHub organization. Use one source type per run.
2. Add contribution and account filters when needed.
3. Turn on profile enrichment or commit evidence when you need the related public fields.
4. Run the Actor and open the dataset output.

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence for a submitted repository and ignores later duplicate submissions of the same repository. It does not merge later matches into the saved row. Different repositories can still produce separate rows for the same login because each row keeps its source repository.

⚙️ Input

Choose Public repositories to add repository URLs, or choose A GitHub organization to enter one organization name or URL. Only the selected source is used. The Actor reads public repositories only. Profile filters work when profile enrichment is on. Commit filters and the noreply choice work when commit evidence is on.

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
discoveryMethod	Select	Chooses public repository URLs or one public GitHub organization.
repositories	URL list	Adds public GitHub repository URLs when Public repositories is selected.
repositories[].url	URL	A public GitHub repository URL.
organization	String	Adds one public GitHub organization name or URL when the organization option is selected.
minimumContributions	Integer	Keeps contributors with at least this many contributions in each source repository. Leave empty to include all contributors.
botAccountFilter	Select	Keeps all accounts, excludes bot accounts, or keeps bot accounts only.
maxItems	Integer	Stops after this many contributor records. Leave empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. A limit can make the run incomplete.
includeProfileEnrichment	Boolean	Requests public profile fields such as name, bio, company, location, website, follower counts, public repository and gist counts, hireability, account dates, organizations, and linked social accounts.
profileEmailAvailability	Select	Keeps profiles with no public email when selected. Any skips this filter.
profileHireability	Select	Keeps profiles by their public hireability value. Any skips this filter.
profileLocations	String list	Adds public location terms for profile filtering. Leave empty to skip this filter.
profileLocations[]	String	One public location term.
profileLanguages	String list	Adds public language names for profile filtering. Leave empty to skip this filter.
profileLanguages[]	String	One public language name.
minimumFollowers	Integer	Keeps enriched profiles with at least this many followers. Leave empty to skip this filter.
includeCommitEvidence	Boolean	Requests public commit-author email evidence with commit links, identifiers, author data, timestamps, message context, linked accounts, and provenance.
commitBranch	String	Uses this branch for commit evidence in every selected repository. Leave empty to use each repository's default branch.
commitStartDate	UTC date string	Includes commit evidence on or after this UTC calendar date. Leave empty for no start date.
commitEndDate	UTC date string	Includes commit evidence on or before this UTC calendar date. Leave empty for no end date.
includeNoreplyAddresses	Boolean	Includes privacy-protecting GitHub noreply addresses when commit evidence is on. Leave off to exclude them.

The default choices use public repository URLs, include all account types, and leave profile enrichment and commit evidence off.

Example input

This is the public input from a successful current-beta run using the default choices:

{
  "discoveryMethod": "repositories",
  "repositories": [
    {
      "url": "https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World"
    }
  ],
  "botAccountFilter": "all",
  "includeProfileEnrichment": false,
  "profileEmailAvailability": "any",
  "profileHireability": "any",
  "includeCommitEvidence": false,
  "includeNoreplyAddresses": false
}

🧾 Output

The dataset output opens the saved contributor rows. Every row has repository, contributor, and contribution. profile appears when profile enrichment is requested. commitEvidence appears when commit evidence is requested. Both optional groups can appear together when both options are on. Null values and empty arrays mean GitHub did not expose a public value.

💳 Pricing

Pay per saved contributor

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The current configured price is $0.00001 for each contributor saved to the dataset. A run with no saved contributor does not create this contributor event.

Use the dataset in your workflow

Start a run in Apify Console or through the Apify API. Read the dataset output after the run and export the rows in an Apify-supported format.

❓ FAQ

Can I use more than one repository URL?

Yes. Add multiple public repository URLs when Public repositories is selected. Each row keeps the repository where that contributor was found.

Can I use a GitHub organization?

Yes. Choose A GitHub organization and enter one public organization name or URL. The Actor finds that organization's public repositories before collecting contributors.

Why are GitHub contributors not showing in my run?

Check that the repository URL is public and that your contribution, account, profile, or commit filters are not too narrow. Profile filters only apply when profile enrichment is on, and commit filters only apply when commit evidence is on.

What does the contributor rank mean?

It is the contributor's rank in the results for that source repository. The count and rank are kept inside the contribution object.

Does this read private repositories or infer private emails?

No. It reads public GitHub repositories and keeps public email values when GitHub exposes them. It does not infer private contact data or bypass GitHub privacy settings.

What does profile enrichment add?

It adds public profile fields such as name, bio, company, location, website, follower counts, public repository and gist counts, hireability, account dates, organizations, and linked social accounts.

What does commit evidence add?

It adds public commit-author email evidence with commit links, SHAs, messages, author data, timestamps, linked accounts, and the branch used to find the commit.

Why are some fields null or empty?

GitHub does not expose every public value for every account or repository. The Actor keeps unavailable values as null and uses empty arrays when a list has no available values.

How do the profile and commit filters work?

Profile filters work only when profile enrichment is on. Branch, date, and noreply choices work only when commit evidence is on. Values for an inactive group are ignored.

What does leaving maximum contributor records empty do?

It returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Add a number when you want the Actor to stop after a set number of contributor records.

How are duplicate repositories handled?

The first eligible occurrence for a submitted repository is saved. A later submission of the same repository is ignored, and its later match is not merged into the saved row. The same login can still appear for different repositories.

Do I need a GitHub token?

No. This Actor works with public GitHub data without a buyer-supplied GitHub token.
