GitHub Repo Discovery Tracker — New Repos by Topic/Language

Find new GitHub repositories matching a keyword, language, or topic, created within a chosen time window and sorted by stars.

Built for tech scouting, VC deal sourcing, and developer relations teams tracking what's emerging in an OSS ecosystem — this is a discovery tool for repos you don't know about yet, not a watcher for repos you already depend on (see GitHub Release Tracker for that).

Input

{
  "keyword": "llm agent",
  "language": "Python",
  "topic": "",
  "minStars": 50,
  "daysBack": 30,
  "maxResults": 25
}

Field	Type	Description
keyword	string (optional)	Free-text search across repo name and description.
language	string (optional)	Programming language to filter by, e.g. "Python", "TypeScript", "Rust".
topic	string (optional)	GitHub topic tag to filter by, e.g. "web-scraping", "llm-agent".
minStars	number	Only return repos with at least this many stars. Default 0.
daysBack	number	How many days back from today to search, by repo creation date. Default 30, max 180.
maxResults	number	Max repos to return, most starred first. Default 25, max 100.

Output

One record per repo:

{
  "fullName": "D4Vinci/Scrapling",
  "description": "An adaptive Web Scraping framework that handles everything from a single request to a full-scale crawl!",
  "url": "https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling",
  "owner": "D4Vinci",
  "language": "Python",
  "stars": 73954,
  "forks": 7397,
  "openIssues": 3,
  "topics": ["ai", "automation", "crawler", "python", "scraping", "web-scraping"],
  "license": "BSD-3-Clause",
  "createdAt": "2024-10-13T20:29:53Z",
  "pushedAt": "2026-08-11T18:45:32Z"
}

A search with no matching repos returns no items but is still billed once for the search.

How it works

Direct calls to the official GitHub REST Search API (api.github.com) — no proxy, no key, no scraping.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per repo returned — one charge whether the search returns 0 repos or 100.
