About the Issues API
Custom media types
These are the supported media types for this API:
application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json
For more information about media types, see "Custom media types."
List issues assigned to the authenticated user
List issues assigned to the authenticated user across all visible repositories including owned repositories, member
repositories, and organization repositories. You can use the filter
query parameter to fetch issues that are not
necessarily assigned to you.
Note: GitHub's REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.

To receive the performed_via_github_app
object in the response, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:

An additional reactions
object in the issue comment payload is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the APIs may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details.
To access the API you must provide a custom media type in the Accept

List issues in an organization assigned to the authenticated user.
Note: GitHub's REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.

Preview notices
If an issue event is created via a GitHub App, the response will include the performed_via_github_app
object with information about the GitHub App. For more information, see the related blog post.
To receive the performed_via_github_app
object in the response, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.machine-man-preview
An additional reactions
object in the issue comment payload is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the APIs may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details.
To access the API you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.squirrel-girl-preview
The reactions
key will have the following payload where url
can be used to construct the API location for listing and creating reactions.
List repository issues
List issues in a repository.
Note: GitHub's REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.

Get an issue
The API returns a 301 Moved Permanently
status if the issue was
transferred to another repository. If
the issue was transferred to or deleted from a repository where the authenticated user lacks read access, the API
returns a 404 Not Found
status. If the issue was deleted from a repository where the authenticated user has read
access, the API returns a 410 Gone
status. To receive webhook events for transferred and deleted issues, subscribe
to the issues
webhook.
Note: GitHub's REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.

Response
Status: 204
List user account issues assigned to the authenticated user
List issues across owned and member repositories assigned to the authenticated user.
Note: GitHub's REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, "Issues" endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from "Issues" endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the "List pull requests" endpoint.
