About This Workflow

Overview

This workflow fetches the top 13 trending repositories from GitHub for the current day. It then processes the extracted HTML to identify repository details such as author, title, description, and creates a structured output.

Key Features

Fetches trending repositories from GitHub.
Extracts key metadata like author, title, and description.
Structures the scraped data into a usable format.
Includes timestamps for when the data was fetched.

How To Use

Import this workflow into your n8n instance.
Configure the Request to Github Trend node with the correct GitHub trending URL (e.g., https://github.com/trending). You might need to set up an environment variable for WEBHOOK_URL if the URL is dynamic or requires specific formatting.
Ensure the Extract Box and Extract repository data nodes correctly identify the HTML elements for trending repositories. You may need to adjust the CSS selectors based on GitHub's current HTML structure.
The Set Result Variables node will process the extracted data. Ensure the repository field in the Set Result Variables node correctly maps to the extracted repository string (e.g., user/repo).
