GitHub Trending Data
Access GitHub trending repositories and developers data.
Important Note
GitHub does NOT provide an official trending API. The trending page at github.com/trending must be scraped directly or use the GitHub Search API as an alternative.
Approach 1: Direct Web Scraping (Recommended)
Scrape github.com/trending directly using Cheerio:
Approach 2: GitHub Search API (Official Alternative)
Use GitHub's Search API to find recently created repos with high stars:
Note: The Search API has rate limits (10 requests/minute unauthenticated, 30/minute with token).
Next.js API Route (Server-Side Scraping)
React Hook
Important Considerations
- No Official API: GitHub's trending page has no official API - scraping is the only option
- Rate Limiting: Respect GitHub's servers - cache aggressively
- HTML Structure Changes: GitHub may change their HTML - monitor for breakages
- User-Agent: Always include a User-Agent header
- Server-Side Only: Do scraping server-side to avoid CORS issues
