SEARCH, NEWS & MEDIA
Extract GitHub Data
Search repositories, users, and issues across all of GitHub.
Tell AuraCrawl what to find on GitHub — "the top repositories for this query with stars, language, and last push," or matching users or issues. We call the public search API unauthenticated and page it within GitHub's anonymous limits.

REQUEST
