How to read this table
- Users (30 days): distinct Apify accounts that ran the actor in the last 30 days. The best single signal that an actor still works on the live site.
- Success (30 days): share of public runs that finished successfully. Below about 85% usually means the target site changed and the actor is struggling.
- Price: pay-per-event actors charge per result and include Apify's compute. "Free" actors charge no fee, but you pay Apify platform usage for the compute they use, which costs more for browser-based scrapers.
- Last run: if nobody has run an actor for weeks, treat it as unmaintained.
Run GitHub scrapers from your code
Every actor above has the same API. Replace the actor name and your token:
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dami_studio~github-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ ...input... }'Actors also run on a schedule inside Apify, send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n, and can be called by AI agents through the Apify MCP server. See how to use scrapers from AI agents.
