About Github Users Scraper
Need to pull user data from GitHub for research, recruitment, or community analysis? I built this scraper because I kept running into the same wall: manually collecting GitHub user profiles is tedious and doesn't scale. This actor automates that. It navigates to any public GitHub repository you specify and extracts the list of users—think contributors, stargazers, or fork owners. You get clean, structured data like usernames, profile links, and often additional public details, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or into a dataset for your project. I use it mainly for two things: first, to build contact lists for open-source project outreach, and second, for competitive analysis to see who's engaging with similar tools. It saves hours of manual copying and pasting. Just input the repo URL, configure your run (you can set request delays to be respectful to GitHub's servers), and let it work. The data it provides is perfect for populating CRM systems, analyzing developer ecosystems, or finding talent for niche tech stacks. It’s a straightforward solution for a very specific, common data-gathering task.
