Tips for Efficiently Extracting Contact Info from Github Stargazers & Maximizing Your Credits

I'm working to pull Contact Linkedin URLs & work email information for Github stargazers. It's proving pretty difficult to get info for more than just a fraction of the contacts; I assume primarily due to how limited domain and name info is from Github. And I'm burning through credits at a crazy pace as a result of trying to get at as much info as I can get. Any advice on how I can get at more of this data in an efficient way so I don't lose all my credits with experimenting? Or anything obvious I'm missing/not doing?

    Since the Find User details and Find Email from Github don't charge credits, you're good there. From the emails you found, we have the "Identify Email Type" integration that can let you know if any of those are likely work vs personal emails (check the last 3 columns).

    From there you can then add more providers to potentially find the person's LI URL with some providers, and the same is true but some providers take the personal emails as input instead. Perhaps you were a bit busy earlier today but happy to jump on that call if you'd like to go over this if you have time tomorrow or if you can find an empty space on the calendar, let me know
