Extracts the repositories currently featured on github.com/trending.

For every trending repo you get the rank on the page, owner/name, description, primary programming language (with GitHub's language color), total stars, forks, stars gained in the selected period, and the avatars/logins of the "Built by" contributors shown on the card.

Inputs

  • language — restrict to one programming language (e.g. typescript, rust, c++). Leave empty for all languages.
  • since — trending window: today, this week, or this month.
  • spokenLanguage — optional spoken-language code (e.g. en, zh).

Source: server-rendered HTML of the trending page (GitHub has no public API for trending), parsed with multiple selector fallbacks.
