GitHub Paid Bounty Finder

Find open GitHub issues that explicitly offer money for completed work — without manually searching through thousands of issues.

GitHub Paid Bounty Finder searches current public GitHub issues, extracts stated USD/USDC/EUR payments, removes common false positives and test/aggregator noise, assigns a trust score, and ranks the most actionable opportunities.

What you get

Each result includes:

• stated bounty amount and currency
• issue title and direct GitHub URL
• repository
• labels and comment count
• created and updated timestamps
• issue description excerpt
• trust score
• opportunity score
• source provenance

Useful for

• developers looking for paid open-source tasks
• AI coding agents searching for paid work
• bounty hunters
• researchers monitoring paid GitHub work
• automation systems that need structured bounty signals

Quality filtering

The Actor is not a generic GitHub issue scraper. It filters common false payment signals, obvious test/demo bounties and aggregator alerts. Results are scored using payment evidence, bounty/reward labels, concrete deliverable language, freshness and other confidence signals.

No automated filter can guarantee that a bounty will ultimately pay. Always open the source issue and verify eligibility, requirements and payment terms before doing work.

Input

• maxResults — 1–100 results, default 25
• minAmount — minimum stated bounty amount, default 50
• requireExplicitAmount — require a parsable monetary amount, default true
• minTrustScore — quality threshold from 0–10, default 5
• extraKeywords — optional filters such as API, Python, automation, scraper, data, or MCP

Pricing

Designed for Apify Pay Per Event.

Event: bounty-result

Launch target: $0.01 per qualified result. Filtered-out issues are not charged as results. A default 25-result run therefore targets $0.25 in event charges, subject to Apify's pricing and platform rules.

Efficient by design

The Actor uses GitHub's public API and does not require browser automation, proxies, or a paid external data provider. An optional GitHub token can improve API allowance for higher-volume usage.

Example workflow

Run daily with a minimum bounty amount and optional technical keywords, export the resulting dataset, and feed the trusted opportunities into your own review or agent workflow.
