Frequently Asked Questions

Does GitHub Developer Search use my search credits?

No, never. GitHub Search runs directly on the GitHub API, so every search and every result is free regardless of your plan.

How many results can I get per search?

Up to 1,000 results per search on paid plans, and 50 results per search on the Free plan.

Can I filter by programming language and location?

Yes. Filter by primary language, location, followers, and repository count to narrow results to active, relevant developers.

What if a developer's email isn't public on GitHub?

GitHub Search surfaces a public email automatically when it's listed on the developer's profile. If it isn't, you can still add them to your pipeline and look up contact details separately with Contact Finder.

Is this only useful for backend or DevOps roles?

No — it works for any technical role. Startups use it for backend and DevOps hiring, agencies build developer shortlists without spending sourcing credits, and in-house teams find contributors to the open-source projects in their own stack.
