gtrending

Lightweight and easy-to-use python library for fetching trending repositories and developers. Relies on github-trending-api, which is in JavaScript, so gtrending aims to fill the gap for python.

from gtrending import fetch_repos


repos = fetch_repos(language="python")  # get the result as a dict

for repo in repos:
    print(repo["fullname"])  # full name (user/repo) of each repo

The above example will fetch all the trending Python projects on GitHub trending today and print their full names.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
