Hi there!
Thanks for open sourcing this data, its really interesting and useful. It says here (https://code.google.com/archive/) that there are 1.6 million repos archived but your dataset has 488,618 repos.
Is this a limitation on how the project names were gathered? I am assuming that this was done via web crawling etc as I couldn't see a great way to programmatically enumerate project names using any of google's api endpoints.
Just asking because if you did have all the repository names I would be very interested in that data.
Thanks again for sharing this!
:)
Hi!
Almost all project IDs came from the Archive Team wiki: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Google_Code
I will update the dataset card to include this source.
