Developer talent discovery

Access and scope

Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY to your Crawlora key. Prefer the listed Crawlora MCP tools when connected; otherwise use the bundled scripts/crawlora.sh, which sends x-api-key to https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Read reference/endpoints.md for exact methods and parameters. Check application code as well as HTTP status; payloads are inside data. Stop on authentication errors, back off on 429, and retry a transient upstream failure once. Bound requests by the requested scope and credit budget. Preserve source IDs, URLs, source dates, and retrieval/crawl times separately.

Produce a role-specific shortlist supported by public technical work. Start with required technologies, work examples, domain, optional geography, and explicit availability criteria. A public GitHub profile is a sample of work, not a complete CV or a verified measure of professional capability.

Discover identities and validate work evidence

  1. Discover dataset facet values before domain/company/location filters, then collect a bounded candidate set. q searches profile fields, not the full source code or a verified skill taxonomy. active_90d, location, company, and hireable are stored/profile-derived observations that may be stale.
  2. Keep individuals, organizations, bots, and suspected automation separate. A suspected-automation flag is a dataset signal, not proof of misconduct. Followers, influence tiers, and rank scores are discovery signals, not skill or hiring scores. Avoid requiring popularity when the role needs technical fit.
  3. Resolve returned login before stored item/live user routes. Inspect selected pinned/public repositories, repository details, languages, contributors, and public events as needed. Use exact owner/repo names rather than profile-name guesses. Forks, generated code, and a pinned project do not prove authorship.
  4. Tie each criterion to visible contribution or repository evidence and dates. Repository language composition is not the developer's personal mastery; contributor totals and event volume do not establish code quality, role, seniority, or hours worked. A bounded events feed cannot prove inactivity.
  5. Preserve dataset crawl time versus live observation time and profile-declared location/company. Dataset geocoding does not verify residence, timezone, work authorisation, or willingness to relocate. Public contact presence does not establish consent to outreach or current job availability.

Deliver a qualified evidence shortlist

Return login/profile URL, requested-role criterion, repository/contribution links, relevant observable work, dates, declared availability fields, and unknowns needing a conversation or work assessment. Deduplicate logins while keeping distinct people with similar names separate. Separate source statements, your technical interpretation, and unverified fit assumptions. Do not infer protected characteristics or personal circumstances from names, photos, or locations, or treat absent public work as evidence of low ability.

Use the user's job-related criteria rather than an opaque popularity ranking. Keep contact details to returned public professional channels relevant to the request. Do not contact candidates, send recruiting messages, enrich private information, or apply on their behalf without an explicit user request.
