How to Build a Python Tool That Finds Trending Open Source Projects Daily

import requests

import datetime

def fetch_trending_projects(language: str = "", since: str = "daily"):
    url = "https://api.github.com/search/repositories"
    date_limit = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)).isoformat()
    query = f"created:>{date_limit} language:{language}" if language else f"created:>{date_limit}"
    params = {"q": query, "sort": "stars", "order": "desc", "per_page": 5}
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    response.raise_for_status()
    items = response.json()["items"]
    projects = []
    for repo in items:
        projects.append({
            "name": repo["full_name"],

            "description": repo["description"] or "No description",
            "url": repo["html_url"]
        })
    return projects

    trending = fetch_trending_projects(language="python", since="daily")
    print(json.dumps(trending, indent=2))
