About

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.

Input

`language` string	Filter by language slug (e.g. typescript, python, rust). Empty = all languages.
`since` select	Time window for the trending calculation.(default: "daily")
`spokenLanguage` string	Optional spoken language filter (e.g. en, zh, ja).
`limit` integer	Maximum repositories to return (the page lists up to 25).(default: 25)
