Opportunity Scoring Algorithm#

Scores are calculated based on:

• Bounty Value (0-30 points): Higher bounties score better
  • $1000+: +30 points
  • $500+: +20 points
  • $200+: +10 points
• Competition Level (0-40 points): Less competition is better
  • 0 comments: +40 points
  • 1-2 comments: +30 points
  • 3-5 comments: +20 points
  • 6-10 comments: +10 points
• Freshness (0-20 points): Newer is better
  • ≤3 days: +20 points
  • ≤7 days: +15 points
  • ≤14 days: +10 points
  • ≤30 days: +5 points

Pricing Strategy#

Recommended Price: $149/month

Justification:

• Average bounty value: $500-2000
• Time saved: 10-20 hours/week on manual searching
• ROI: One successful bounty covers 3-6 months subscription
• Target market: Professional developers, bounty hunters, OSS contributors

Expected Revenue: $3,000-8,000/month

• Conservative: 20 subscribers × $149 = $2,980/month
• Target: 50 subscribers × $149 = $7,450/month
• Optimistic: 100 subscribers × $149 = $14,900/month

Integration Examples#

Node.js#

javascript

const BountyScanner = require('github-bounty-finder');

const scanner = new BountyScanner({
  minBounty: 200,
  maxCompetition: 5
});

const results = await scanner.scan({
  github: true,
  algora: true,
  limit: 100
});

console.log(`Found ${results.highPriority} high-priority bounties!`);

CLI Automation#

bash

# Daily scan with cron
0 9 * * * github-bounty-finder scan --min-bounty 500 --output /path/to/results.json

Troubleshooting#

API Rate Limits#

If you hit GitHub API rate limits:

• Use authenticated requests (set GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Reduce scan frequency
• Increase delay between requests

No Results Found#

• Lower your --min-bounty threshold
• Increase --max-competition limit
• Try different search queries
