ScrapingBee simplified our day-to-day marketing and engineering operations a lot. We no longer have to worry about managing our own fleet of headless browsers, and we no longer have to spend days sourcing the right proxy provider
How Developers Use GitHub
Three GitHub workflows come up again and again: gathering repository stats, monitoring repo changes, and tracking project momentum across contributors, commits, and pull requests.
Gather repository stats
Analyze open-source trends using the GitHub scraper to refine business strategies and improve tech insights efficiently.
Monitor repository changes
Automate monitoring repo changes for agile adjustments and timely tech decisions using structured insights.
Track project momentum
Aggregate contributor counts, commit frequency, and PR velocity across the repositories you watch. Useful for open-source-project-health monitoring.

How it works
Manually collecting data from GitHub is slow, limited and hard to scale. That's why more and more teams choose our API.
Create an account - get instant access to API key and 1,000 free credits to get started
Install our Python SDK (or Node, Go, PHP, Ruby - pick your stack). Each GitHub scrape becomes a single function call. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.
Send a GET request with your API key, passing a GitHub URL on GitHub.com. JavaScript renders, residential proxies rotate, and you get rendered HTML back, ready to parse.
When GitHub pages need more, gain advanced parameters. render_js for JavaScript, stealth_proxy for CAPTCHAs, country_code for geo-targeting, ai_extract_rules for natural-language data extraction.
GitHub Scraper - Built for GitHub's Anti-Bot Stack
Pull GitHub repository pages at scale. Repo stats, commit history, contributor data, issue counts, language breakdown, and README content all parse in one call.
Utilize AI Web Scraping to streamline data extraction on GitHub. Enhance precision and speed for strategic insights in business operations.

Scraping is 50% dealing with ever-changing HTML files and 50% massaging data into a useable format. ScrapingBee’s incredible AI feature can do both much better than I ever could. Now I can spend 100% of my time on what matters most; my business.

ScrapingBee helps us to retrieve information from sites that use very sophisticated mechanism to block unwanted traffic, we were struggling with those sites for some time now and I'm very glad that we found ScrapingBee.

ScrapingBee clear documentation, easy-to-use API, and great success rate made it a no-brainer.
Dominic Phillips,

I'm a PhD candidate with absolutely no web scraping experience and needed to scrape some data for a dissertation project. ScrapingBee helped me get the job done quickly and easily. Excellent customer support too. Couldn't be happier!

Great SaaS tool for legitimate scraping and data extraction. ScrapingBee makes it easy to automatically pull down data from the sites that publish periodic data in a human-readable format.
Andy Hawkes,

Good experience. I found this proxy service more effective compared to previous ones that were being used. It is fast and efficient.
Aayushi,

Fantastic service: works flawlessly, best support I've experienced. It just works: and its parsing meta-language is wonderfully powerful. Most importantly, the support I've received has been superlative.
Mike P.,
VP
Excellent service, glad we made the switch! We could always dedicate resources and build our own systems for everything... or we could simply call the scrapingBee API and focus on the data. It makes our work so much easier.
