GitHub famously has no official API for its Trending page. This Actor fills that gap: daily/weekly/monthly trending lists per language, plus full repo details and star-sorted repo search via the official REST API.

What you can extract:

  • 🔥 Trending repos — by language and period, with rank, stars, forks, stars-this-period
  • 🔬 Repo details — topics, license, issues, watchers, timestamps, archived flag
  • 🔍 Repo search — GitHub qualifiers supported (language:python stars:>1000)
  • Optional API enrichment of trending rows

Quick start

  1. Click Run — default grabs today's overall trending list
  2. Add languages (python, rust, typescript) or your competitors' repos
  3. Schedule daily + diff runs = "who's rising in my ecosystem" alerts

Sample output

{
"type": "trending-repo",
"rank": 1,
"repo": "significant-gravitas/autogpt",
"url": "https://github.com/significant-gravitas/autogpt",
"description": "An experimental open-source attempt to make GPT-4 fully autonomous.",
"language": "Python",
"stars": 172341,
"forks": 45102,
"starsThisPeriod": 412,
"trendingLanguage": "all",
"trendingPeriod": "daily"
}

Use cases

  • DevRel & dev-tool marketing — track what's rising in your ecosystem
  • VCs — trending velocity as early deal signal
  • Newsletters — automated "trending this week in Rust" sections
  • Engineering — monitor dependencies and competitors

FAQ

Do I need a GitHub token? No for trending. Optional free token raises API limits for big search/detail runs.

Data sources? github.com/trending (public page) and the official GitHub REST API.
