# GitHub repo dataset - bulk download with stars and forks

**Use case:** 

Every public repository with more than 50,000 stars - 485 matched on 2026-09-13, the largest being codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x with 546,761 stars - as one flat row each, downloadable from the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or JSONL. Three columns the raw API does not give you: daysSinceLastPush, starsPerYear (new repos floored at one month) and ageDays.

## Input

```json
{
  "query": "stars:>50000",
  "sort": "stars",
  "order": "desc",
  "maxResults": 485,
  "minStars": 0,
  "excludeForks": false,
  "excludeArchived": false,
  "waitForRateLimit": true
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [GitHub Repo Search API - Stars, Language, Date, Official API](https://apify.com/neverempty/github-repo-search.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/neverempty/github-repo-search.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/neverempty/github-repo-search.md

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`).
