Why this beats writing your own script
- GitHub API rate limits: 60 requests per hour unauthenticated, 5,000 with a token. This actor exposes both modes plus a clear warning when limits hit.
- Bulk-ready: pass a list of 500 repos in any common format (
owner/name, full URL, .git suffix tolerated). - Dataset-native: output streams straight into a Apify Dataset that you can export to CSV / JSON / Sheets / your warehouse.
- Last-commit detection: GitHub's main repo endpoint returns
pushed_atwhich is not always the last commit. We hit/commits?per_page=1for the actual last-commit timestamp.
Pass your own GitHub token (recommended)
Without a token, GitHub limits you to 60 requests per hour. The actor stops gracefully at the limit.
With a token (no scopes needed for public repos), you get 5,000 requests per hour. Create one at https://github.com/settings/tokens, paste it into the github_token field. The field is stored as a secret, never logged.
Use cases
- VCs: pull stars/contributor/license data for a portfolio scan or sector report.
- Devtool marketing: track competitor velocity (last commit, open issues, contributor count) over time.
- OSS maintainers: benchmark your repo against peers.
- Recruiters: identify active maintainers in a tech stack.
- Security teams: bulk-fetch license data for compliance audits.
What this actor does NOT do
- It does not pull private repos (use a token with private-repo scope and write your own).
- It does not deep-scan code (use code-search APIs separately).
- It does not check vulnerability advisories (use GitHub's GHSA endpoints).
