GitHub Trending & Repository Search Scraper
Trending today, this week or this month — per language — plus repository search with GitHub's query syntax.
Pay per result on Apify. Runs that return nothing cost nothing; Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, and Apify Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers get 10%, 20% and 30% off.
Read GitHub Trending for any period and language, or search repositories with GitHub's own syntax (topic:llm stars:>1000), and get stars, forks, stars gained, language, description, topics, license, open issues, watchers, dates and homepage for every repository.
Trending comes from github.com, details and search from the official API; an optional personal token raises the limit for big runs.
