Inputs
| Field | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
query | GitHub search syntax. For repositories: "language:python stars:>1000 machine learning", "topic:cli created:>2023-01-01". For users: "location:berlin followers:>500", "fullstack in:bio". See GitHub's search docs for all qualifiers. | string |
type | What to search for: repositories or users/organizations. Users are additionally enriched with profile details (name, bio, company, location, followers, public repos). | string |
sort | How to sort repository results (applies to repository searches; user searches use GitHub's relevance ranking). Best match is GitHub's default relevance score. | string |
maxItems | Maximum number of repositories/users to return. GitHub's Search API caps at 1000 results per query (10 pages of 100), so split large jobs by qualifier (e.g. star range or date range). | integer |
githubToken | Optional GitHub personal access token. Strongly recommended: without it you get only 60 requests/hr and 10 searches/min; with it you get 5000 requests/hr and 30 searches/min, so larger jobs finish. No special scopes needed for public data. Kept private. | string |
notionConnector | Optional. Write each item as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless. | string |
notionParentId | Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead. | string |
What you get
A structured dataset — each result includes fields like:
