GitHub Contributors Scraper & Exporter
Scrape GitHub contributor totals and weekly stats, then export to Excel, CSV, or JSON using your existing GitHub session.
How It Works
This exporter loads the GitHub contributors graph page, extracts the per-page fetch nonce, and then calls the contributors data endpoint to retrieve totals plus weekly stats. The Lection extension runs the requests locally using your current GitHub session, so your credentials never leave your device.
Each row includes commit totals, additions, deletions, activity windows, and average commits per active week.
