Github API is annoying to work with for a basic task like repo search you wont need to request a tokens.

This library allows you to save time, and quickly start. No tokens needed. No restrictions. Extremely fast.

go get -u github.com/DipandaAser/github-scraper

Let's start with a trivial example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	githubscraper "github.com/DipandaAser/github-scraper"
)

func main() {
	s := githubscraper.New()
	for repo := range s.SearchRepositories(githubscraper.DefaultSortOption, "go", 20) {
		fmt.Println(repo.Name)
	}
}

SortOptions:

• githubscraper.DefaultSortOption
• githubscraper.RepositoryMostStars
• githubscraper.RepositoryFewestStars
• githubscraper.RepositoryMostForks
• githubscraper.RepositoryFewestForks
• githubscraper.RepositoryRecentlyUpdated

SortOptions:

• githubscraper.DefaultSortOption
• githubscraper.UserMostFollowers
• githubscraper.UserFewestFollowers
• githubscraper.UserMostRecentlyJoined
• githubscraper.UserLeastRecentlyJoined
• githubscraper.UserMostRepositories
• githubscraper.UserFewestRepositories

SortOptions:

• githubscraper.DefaultSortOption
• githubscraper.CommitRecentlyCommitted
• githubscraper.CommitLeastRecentlyCommitted
• githubscraper.CommitRecentlyAuthored
• githubscraper.CommitLeastRecentlyAuthored

SortOptions:

• githubscraper.DefaultSortOption
• githubscraper.IssuesMostCommented
• githubscraper.IssuesNewest
• githubscraper.IssuesOldest
• githubscraper.IssuesRecentlyUpdated
• githubscraper.IssuesLeastRecentlyUpdated

In simple cases, you can use the default scraper without creating an object instance

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	githubscraper "github.com/DipandaAser/github-scraper"
)

func main() {
	for repo := range githubscraper.SearchRepositories(githubscraper.DefaultSortOption, "go", 20) {
		fmt.Println(repo.Name)
	}
}
