Project description
Top Github Scraper
Scrape top Github repositories and users based on keywords.
I used this tool to analyze the top 1k machine learning users in this article.
Setup
Installation
pip install top-github-scraper
Add Credentials
To make sure you can scrape many repositories and users, add your GitHub's credentials to .env
file.
touch .env
Add your username and token to .env
file:
GITHUB_USERNAME=yourusername
GITHUB_TOKEN=yourtoken
Usage
Get Top Github Repositories' URLs
from top_github_scraper import get_top_repo_urls
get_top_repo_urls(keyword="machine learning", stop_page=10)
Output at top_repo_urls_<keyword>_<sort_by>_<start_page>_<end_page>.json
:
[
"/josephmisiti/awesome-machine-learning",
"/wepe/MachineLearning",
"/udacity/machine-learning",

]
Get Top Github Repositories' Information
from top_github_scraper import get_top_repos
get_top_repos("machine learning", stop_page=10)
Output for 1 repository at top_repo_info_<keyword>_<sort_by>_<start_page>_<end_page>.json
