For example, if you want to find the oldest unresolved Python bugs on Windows. Your query might look something like this.
q=windows+label:bug+language:python+state:open&sort=created&order=asc
This query searches for the keyword windows
, within any open issue that is labeled as bug
. The search runs across repositories whose primary language is Python. The results are sorted by creation date in ascending order, which means the oldest issues appear first in the search results.
Note: For user-to-server GitHub App requests, you can't retrieve a combination of issues and pull requests in a single query. Requests that don't include the is:issue
or is:pull-request
qualifier will receive an HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity
response. To get results for both issues and pull requests, you must send separate queries for issues and pull requests. For more information about the is
qualifier, see "Searching only issues or pull requests."
