GitHubUserDataExtractor is a cross-platform Python tool designed to extract and display public GitHub user data both in the terminal and through a visual HTML dashboard. It provides a streamlined way to fetch a user’s profile, recent activity, and contribution statistics using GitHub’s REST API and external visualization services.

• Retrieves a GitHub user's public profile and recent activity
• Displays formatted JSON data in the terminal with color-coded output
• Generates a dynamic HTML dashboard styled with Bootstrap
• Embeds contribution graphs, language usage charts, and GitHub stats
• Native HTML viewer support for Linux (PyWebView) and Windows (PyQt5)
• Clean file structure with modular code organization

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/QuantumByteStudios/GitHubUserDataExtractor.git cd GitHubUserDataExtractor pip install -r requirements.txt

Ensure you are using Python 3.7 or higher.

Run the application using:

python src/main.py

You will be prompted to enter a GitHub username. The tool will:

1. Fetch the user's public GitHub profile and display it in the terminal.
2. Retrieve recent events like stars, forks, and releases.
3. Generate an HTML report and open it in a native desktop viewer.
4. Clean up temporary files after closing the viewer.

The tool creates a temporary HTML report (index.html) inside the .temp/ directory. This report includes:

• Recent GitHub events (filtered by event types)
• Contribution graphs and language usage charts
• Visual badges and statistics via third-party services

This file is opened in a native GUI window and then automatically cleared on exit.

• Developers reviewing their own GitHub contributions and stats
• Technical recruiters assessing candidate GitHub activity
• Educators demonstrating API integration and data visualization
• Hackathon teams building offline GitHub user snapshots

• Python 3
• GitHub REST API
• Requests (HTTP client)
• Colorama (terminal color formatting)
• PyQt5 (Windows HTML viewer)
• PyWebView (Linux HTML viewer)
• Bootstrap 5 (UI styling)
• External visualization APIs:
  • GitHub Readme Stats
  • GitHub Streak Stats
  • GitHub Profile Summary Cards

This tool uses unauthenticated GitHub API requests and is therefore subject to rate limiting:

• 60 requests per hour per IP address

To increase limits, you can optionally extend the tool to use a personal access token.
