Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | Yes | orgRepos | One repository, a pasted list of repositories, every public repository in an organization or user account, a keyword search, or a GitHub topic. |
| repoFullName | string | No | – | Repository for One repository mode. Accepts owner/repo, a full https://github.com/owner/repo URL, or the git@github.com:owner/repo.git form. |
| repoFullNames | array | No | [] | Repositories for A list of repositories mode. Accepts owner/repo strings and full GitHub URLs; duplicates are removed and order is preserved before sorting. |
| org | string | No | microsoft | GitHub organization login for Organization repositories mode. |
| username | string | No | – | GitHub user login for User repositories mode. |
| searchQuery | string | No | stars:>1000 | Keyword search for Keyword search mode. GitHub qualifiers work, for example stars:>1000, language:python, org:vercel, topic:llm, or pushed:>2025-01-01. |
| topic | string | No | machine-learning | Topic slug for Topic search mode, for example machine-learning, web-scraping, or cli. |
| language | string | No | – | Only return repositories whose primary language matches this name, for example Python, TypeScript, Rust, or Jupyter Notebook. Applied as a GitHub search qualifier where possible, otherwise as a client-side filter. |
| includeForks | boolean | No | false | Discovery modes skip forks by default. Turn this on to include forked repositories in organization, user, search, and topic results. |
| includeArchived | boolean | No | true | Turn this off to drop archived repositories from discovery results. |

| sortOrder | string | No | desc | Descending (highest or newest first) or ascending. |
| maxItems | integer | No | 20 | Hard cap on repository records. GitHub search itself stops at 1,000 results. |
| includeLanguages | boolean | No | true | Fetch byte counts per language and compute percentage shares, up to one extra API request per repository. |
| includeContributors | boolean | No | false | Fetch ranked contributors and their contribution counts, up to one extra API request per repository. |
| contributorsLimit | integer | No | 10 | Maximum ranked contributors to keep when contributor enrichment is on. |
| includeCommitStats | boolean | No | false | Fetch weekly commit activity, participation, code frequency, and punch-card data, up to four extra API requests per repository. |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
Official route: GitHub REST API
Public API. The GitHub REST API exposes repositories, issues, releases, users, organisations and more. A token raises rate limits.
No per-call fee for standard REST API use.
