GitHub Trending & Topic Scraper 🚀

GitHub Trending & Topic Scraper is a high-speed, lightweight developer tool designed to track emerging technology trends, popular repositories, and daily/weekly/monthly trending charts on GitHub.

It works 100% anonymously without requiring any GitHub OAuth credentials or personal access tokens, ensuring absolute safety for your accounts.


🌟 Key Features

  1. Dual Mode Extraction:
    • Trending Mode: Scrape the official GitHub Trending page (https://github.com/trending) filtered by programming language and timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly).
    • Topic Mode: Fetch the most popular and starred repositories for specific technical keywords or topics (e.g. llm, generative-ai, agents, react).
  2. Hybrid Evasion Architecture:
    • Uses got-scraping dynamic browser fingerprinting to prevent bot detection.
    • Built-in automatic API search query execution, with a robust Cheerio HTML scraper fallback if GitHub's search API rate limits are reached.
  3. Optimized and Cost-Effective:
    • Fast, serverless, and runs on only 256MB RAM.
    • Leverages Pay-Per-Event (PPE) charging, making it extremely cost-effective.

💰 Pricing — Pay-Per-Event (PPE)

This actor is charged dynamically based on the volume of data delivered to you:

  • $0.01 USD per repository scraped (repo-scraped event).
  • Owner runs skip billing automatically.
