Brief
What is GitHub Project & Contributor Finder API?
BrowserAct’s GitHub Project & Contributor Finder API lets you extract project details and contributor contact information from GitHub, without building crawler scripts or dealing with rate limits.
This API is designed for targeted talent sourcing and repository analysis. Simply provide keywords, stars, and update time, and BrowserAct will traverse the search results, extract repository metrics, and fetch detailed profiles of the contributors, returning it all directly via API.
It is ideal for tech recruiting, building developer communities (DevRel), open-source collaboration, and generating targeted leads for developer tools.
