How I Built a GitHub Profile Scraper Using BrightData API
I've recently developed a web scraper designed to extract comprehensive GitHub profiles, including user repositories, profile usage, and repository details categorized by language. To achieve this, I leveraged the powerful scraping capabilities provided by the BrightData API.
By using BrightData's GitHub profile scraping API token, I was able to seamlessly fetch user data and repositories. This integration allows for efficient and organized data collection, making it easier to analyze and present GitHub profiles.
The scraper supports multiple options for custom data extraction, ensuring flexibility and accuracy. This tool is particularly useful for developers and organizations looking to gather insights from GitHub profiles for analysis, reporting, or improving development strategies
