About

Runs a repository search against the official GitHub search API (api.github.com/search/repositories) — no key required — and returns rich metadata for every matching repo.

Each item includes stars, forks, watchers, open issues, primary language, topics, license, owner (with avatar), homepage, size, template/fork/archived flags, created/updated/pushed timestamps, the relevance score, and the total match count for the query.

Inputs

query — anything GitHub's search syntax supports, e.g. web scraping, stars:>1000 language:rust, org:vercel topic:react.
language / minStars — convenience filters appended to the query.
sort — best match, stars, forks, or recently updated.
maxItems — up to 100 results (paginated at 100/request).

Source: official public JSON API. Unauthenticated search is limited to 10 requests/minute; set a GITHUB_TOKEN env var on the runner to raise it.

Input

`query`* string	Keywords plus optional GitHub search qualifiers (stars:, topic:, org:, in:name...).
`language` string	Restrict to a primary language (adds language:<value> to the query).
`minStars` integer	Only repos with at least this many stars (adds stars:>=N). 0 = no filter.(default: 0)
`sort` select	Result ordering.(default: "best-match")
`maxItems` integer	Maximum repositories to return.(default: 25)

  "query": "web scraping",
