Changelog

1.0.4 (2026-11-03)

Dataset schema: every optional field accepts an empty value, so a record with an empty optional field (for example no postal code) no longer stops the run.

1.0.3 (2026-11-03)

README: public examples list refreshed

1.0.2 (2026-10-26)

README: links to the public examples.

1.0.1 (2026-10-26)

README: real Console screenshots and three public examples; first public release.

1.0.0 (2026-10-26)

First release: GitHub repository search through the official REST API (GET /search/repositories), one row per repository with 32 fields: id, full name, name, URL, description, homepage, owner type, organization owner, language, topics, SPDX license, stars, forks, watchers, open issues, archived / fork / template flags, default branch, size, creation, update and push times, visibility, feature flags, the query that found it and the read time.
Two modes: search (your queries in GitHub syntax, with the plain filters added as qualifiers) and recent (repositories created, or pushed to, in the last N days, ordered by stars).
Filters: language, minimum stars, topics, license, created after, pushed after, archived and forks left out by default; sort by stars, forks, last update or best match. A qualifier already in a query wins over the matching setting, and the run summary says so.
Up to 1,000 results per query (GitHub's limit, 10 pages of 100), stated in the input form, the README, COVERAGE and a warning when a query matches more.
Optional token of the customer's own GitHub account (githubToken, secret): 30 searches a minute and 5,000 detail requests an hour instead of 10 and 60. The actor waits 6.5 s between searches without a token and 2.1 s with one, reads the rate-limit headers after every answer and waits for a reset that fits in the run (up to five minutes); otherwise it stops with what it has and says so.
Optional detail request per delivered repository (fetchDetails) for the real number of watchers (subscribers) and the fork network size (networkCount); when the hourly limit runs out the remaining rows are delivered without them.
No persons: the owner is delivered only when it is an organization; the login, id, avatar and links of a user account are never copied. E-mail addresses and phone numbers in descriptions are masked. Contributors, commit authors and followers are never requested.
The API host's robots.txt is read first and obeyed; redirects are not followed; 403 and 429 are reported and never charged; a stop after three failed requests in a row.
COVERAGE per query and RUN_SUMMARY with the totals, the searches sent, the rate-limit numbers GitHub reported and why the run stopped.
Standard Rowcraft automation: countOnly (matching repositories per query and the estimated cost, free), onlyNew and stateName, end-of-run notification (notifyUrl), charge cap respected, stop with the summary saved 90 seconds before the run timeout. Runs in 256 MB.
