Hi, I'm a sourcing manager and I'm trying to figure out how I can scrape Github contributors (from a repository) and enrich them with their linkedin profile. Can anyone help me?

hi Jake G.! I have the repo's URL, but what I need is to get the contributor's details (username, profile URL) to then enrich it with their Linkedin profiles. I'm stuck on this step and I need help 😭

Hey, you do you already have the URL to the repo? GitHub has a pretty robust API which you can use to pull in the data you need to Clay. What will your starting point be for each contributor that will allow you to find their LinkedIn profile? Just company name + full name or something else?
