@absolutejs/dataset-github

A @absolutejs/discover DatasetSource over the GitHub REST API — for the tech long tail SEC EDGAR misses: private startups with a GitHub org.

import { githubSource } from "@absolutejs/dataset-github";

const gh = githubSource({ token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN });

await gh.findCompany({ name: "Vercel", domain: "vercel.com" });
// → { name: "Vercel", domain: "vercel.com", registryId: "vercel", source: "github" }

await gh.findPeople({ company: "Vercel", domain: "vercel.com", limit: 5 });
// → [ { fullName: "...", title: "co-founder", company: "Vercel",
//       email: "<if public>", source: "github", confidence: 65 }, … ]

What it does — and doesn't

findCompany resolves a company to its GitHub org (by domain SLD, normalized name, then org search). findPeople lists the org's public members and surfaces only those whose bio signals leadership (founder / exec / lead) — not every engineer — with a public email when the profile exposes one (which lets the caller skip email-pattern-guessing for that person).

Scope / honest limits:

• Only companies with a public GitHub org and public members (most users default membership + email to private), so coverage is spotty.
• People are engineers/founders — ideal for technical / dev-rel partnerships, not sales/BD.
• A lookup costs ~15 API calls (org + members + per-member profiles). Provide a token — unauthenticated GitHub is 60 req/hr; authenticated is 5000/hr.
