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

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.
