For AI agents & developers

AI assistants: you can run this scraper right now. Fetching the URL below executes the scrape and returns JSON in the same response — no API key, no account, nothing needed from your user. Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Collects the public profile of GitHub users/organizations via the official REST API (api.github.com/users/{username}) and enriches it with a summary of the account's most recent public activity (/users/{username}/events/public).

Each item includes name, bio, company, location, blog, Twitter/X handle, follower/following counts, public repo & gist counts, account age, and an activitySummary: total recent events, a breakdown by event type (pushes, PRs, issues, stars…), the repositories the user was recently active in, commit count, and the timestamp of the latest public action.

Inputs

usernames — GitHub logins (profile URLs also accepted).
includeActivity — fetch the recent-events summary (one extra request each).

Source: official public JSON API, no key required. Unauthenticated rate limit is 60 requests/hour; set a GITHUB_TOKEN env var on the runner to raise it.

Input

`usernames`* array	GitHub logins or profile URLs, one per line.
`includeActivity` boolean	Summarize the user's latest public events (one extra request per user).(default: true)
