# Find Python web-scraping libraries with 1,000+ stars

**Use case:** 

The most-starred Python repositories tagged web-scraping with more than 1,000 stars, archived projects and forks left out: name, description, stars, forks, license, topics, last push and the link. Change the language, topic or star limit to scout libraries for another job.

## Input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "language:python topic:web-scraping stars:>1000"
  ],
  "mode": "search",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "minStars": 0,
  "excludeArchived": true,
  "excludeForks": true,
  "sort": "stars",
  "recentDays": 7,
  "recentBy": "created",
  "fetchDetails": false,
  "countOnly": false,
  "onlyNew": false,
  "stateName": "default",
  "notifyWhenEmpty": false,
  "requestIntervalMs": 0
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "fullName": {
    "label": "owner/name of the repository",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "description": {
    "label": "Short description written by the project (e-mail addresses and phone numbers masked), or null",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "language": {
    "label": "Main programming language, or null",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "stars": {
    "label": "Stars",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "forks": {
    "label": "Forks",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "license": {
    "label": "License as an SPDX identifier (MIT, Apache-2.0, ...), NOASSERTION for a license GitHub cannot name, null for none",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "pushedAt": {
    "label": "Last code push (ISO 8601, UTC)",
    "format": "string"

}
```

## How it works

### 1. Sign up on Apify or log in

The GitHub Repository Search Scraper: Stars, Topics, Licenses Actor is ready to run with the inputs already set for "Find Python web-scraping libraries with 1,000+ stars". [Sign up or log in](https://console.apify.com/create-task-from-example/qREA8dA2TOXTUnXgR) and you'll land in Apify Console with a copy of this exact task.

### 2. Start the "Find Python web-scraping libraries with 1,000+ stars" task

The GitHub Repository Search Scraper: Stars, Topics, Licenses Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like search queries, mode, and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Find Python web-scraping libraries with 1,000+ stars" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as owner/name of the repository, short description written by the project (e-mail addresses and phone numbers masked), or null, main programming language, or null, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Find Python web-scraping libraries with 1,000+ stars" task via API](https://apify.com/rowcraft/github-repo-search-scraper.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [GitHub Repository Search Scraper: Stars, Topics, Licenses](https://apify.com/rowcraft/github-repo-search-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/rowcraft/github-repo-search-scraper.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/rowcraft/github-repo-search-scraper.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`).
