Usually when I as a user want to check if a technology exists or is legit I do a GitHub search like a GitHub advanced search or a Google Advanced Search, and for the Google Advanced Search if I want it to search for things in GitHub I will put https://github.com/ in the "site or domain:" field. Google puts more popular results closer to the top so usually I would just click the first result and then look at the number of stars on GitHub and if the number is low (like less than 1000) it's not a sufficiently popular project. You could write code that automates the process of doing a Google Advanced Search or searching GitHub by using Selenium or maybe just making an API call or HTTP request then using something like BeautifulSoup to scrape the site (BeautifulSoup converts the site into an object that you can query). GitHub just uses plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without using a framework like React or Angular so it shouldn't be too hard to scrape.
