About this Dataset

About

This dataset lists over 215k top projects by star with over 167 stars. Contains a lot of useful information (attributes).

I collected this dataset using github search api. This allows you to get only the first thousand for a query, so I looped through the low/high (stars) pairs that return less than a thousand repositories when query=stars:{low}..{high}.

The Github API Terms of Service apply.

You may not use this dataset for spamming purposes, including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information, such as to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards.
