GitHub Stargazers Scraper & Exporter
Scrape stargazers from any GitHub repository, then export to Excel, CSV, or JSON. Uses your existing GitHub session.
How It Works
This tool fetches the GitHub stargazers page and parses the user cards into clean, exportable data. The Lection extension runs the request locally in your browser using your current GitHub session, so your credentials never leave your device.
Each stargazer includes a username, display name, profile URL, avatar, and profile metadata (like company, location, or join date when available).
How to Use This Tool
Install the Lection Chrome extension to enable authenticated requests.
Sign in at github.com so your session can access private repos you have permission for and avoid rate limits.
Paste a repo in owner/repo format or a full GitHub URL.
Download stargazers as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Use "Export All" to paginate automatically or "Load More" for manual batches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be logged into GitHub?
Yes. GitHub limits unauthenticated requests. Logging in lets the extension use your session to fetch data reliably and access repos you have permission to view.
Can I export stargazers from private repositories?
Only if you have access to that repo. The tool mirrors what your GitHub session can see.
What data fields are included?
Exports include the stargazer's username, display name, profile URL, avatar, and profile metadata like company, location, or join date when available.
Is this safe to use?
Yes. Requests run locally in your browser through the extension. Your credentials and cookies never leave your device.
How many stargazers can I export?
There's no fixed limit, but GitHub may rate-limit heavy usage. Use "Export All" for full exports or "Load More" in smaller batches.
