🐙 GitHub Profile Scraper & Lead Finder

⚡ Use this Actor in n8n — no code

Building no-code workflows in n8n? Install our official community node and drop this Actor straight onto your canvas:

📦 n8n-nodes-apivault-github

Setup (30 seconds): in n8n go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install, paste n8n-nodes-apivault-github and confirm → add the new node to your workflow → paste your Apify API token → fill in the input and run.

Scrape any public GitHub profile via GitHub's official API — or paste a repository URL and pull every stargazer / forker as a ready-to-use lead list. Returns identity, email, LinkedIn & all social accounts, repositories, total stars, languages, organizations and the profile README — then layers on a 0-100 lead score, developer tier and a ready-to-send outreach icebreaker.

Built for recruiters, B2B sales, devtool marketers and OSS researchers. No browser, official API, only successful results are billed.

Two modes

1. Profile mode — usernames in, enriched profiles out

Paste usernames or https://github.com/NAME URLs. Get the full profile + intelligence layer.

2. Lead mode — repo in, developer leads out ⭐

Paste a repository URL (https://github.com/OWNER/REPO). The actor pulls every developer who starred (or forked) that repo and hydrates each into a complete lead profile with a lead score.

"Find every developer who starred my competitor's repo" — turn any popular repository into a warm B2B prospect list. Filter by lead score, followers, stars, hireable status or public email.

}

In lead mode each record also carries leadSource: { "type": "stargazers", "repo": "apify/crawlee" }.

Enable includeRepoList, includeLanguageStats, includeOrganizations, includeStarred, includeReadme, includeAchievements, includePinnedRepos or includeContributions to add those sections.

Lead score

A transparent 0-100 score (with human-readable leadReasons) computed from followers, total stars, public repos, account age, public email, LinkedIn, company and hireable status. Tiers: cold / warm / hot / scorching. Sort or filter on it to surface the best prospects first.

Pricing

• $0.0019 per profile ($1.9 per 1,000) — pay per result, no subscription.
• A failed / not-found / private lookup is never charged.
• In lead mode you pay one profile lookup per stargazer/forker hydrated.

Rate limits & token

GitHub allows ~60 requests/hour per IP unauthenticated; the actor rotates Apify proxy IPs to spread load. For large batches or lead mode, add an optional read-only GitHub token to raise the limit to 5000/hour. No scopes needed.

Use cases

• Recruiting — find hireable developers with public emails, filter by language and activity.
• B2B / devtool sales — extract stargazers of a competitor's repo as warm leads, scored and ready for outreach.
• OSS community growth — identify influential users who starred your project.
• Market & competitor research — map a company's engineers, their stacks and orgs.
• CRM enrichment — append GitHub + LinkedIn data to existing contacts.

Notes

• Only publicly available data is extracted. email and linkedin appear only when the user has set them public.
• totalStars / totalForks are aggregated over the sampled repos (cap maxRepos, GitHub page ceiling 100).
• languageStats percentages are bytes-weighted from GitHub's per-repo language endpoint (top repos).
