The Search API helps you search for the specific item you want to find. For example, you can find a user or a specific file in a repository. Think of it the way you think of performing a search on Google. It's designed to help you find the one result you're looking for (or maybe the few results you're looking for). Just like searching on Google, you sometimes want to see a few pages of search results so that you can find the item that best meets your needs. To satisfy that need, the GitHub Enterprise Search API provides up to 1,000 results for each search.
You can narrow your search using queries. To learn more about the search query syntax, see "Constructing a search query."
Ranking search results
Unless another sort option is provided as a query parameter, results are sorted by best match in descending order. Multiple factors are combined to boost the most relevant item to the top of the result list.
Rate limit
The Search API has a custom rate limit. For requests using Basic Authentication, OAuth, or client ID and secret, you can make up to 30 requests per minute. For unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows you to make up to 10 requests per minute.
Observe que os limites mencionados acima são os limites de taxa padrão para uma instância do GitHub Enterprise Server. Entre em contato com o administrador do site para confirmar se os limites de taxa estão habilitados e como eles estão configurados.
See the rate limit documentation for details on determining your current rate limit status.
Constructing a search query
Each endpoint in the Search API uses query parameters to perform searches on GitHub Enterprise. See the individual endpoint in the Search API for an example that includes the endpoint and query parameters.
A query can contain any combination of search qualifiers supported on GitHub.com. The format of the search query is:
q=SEARCH_KEYWORD_1+SEARCH_KEYWORD_N+QUALIFIER_1+QUALIFIER_N
For example, if you wanted to search for all repositories owned by defunkt that contained the word GitHub and Octocat in the README file, you would use the following query with the search repositories endpoint:
q=GitHub+Octocat+in:readme+user:defunkt
See "Searching on GitHub" for a complete list of available qualifiers, their format, and an example of how to use them. For information about how to use operators to match specific quantities, dates, or to exclude results, see "Understanding the search syntax."
Limitações no tamanho da consulta
The Search API does not support queries that:
- are longer than 256 characters (not including operators or qualifiers).
- have more than five
AND,OR, orNOToperators.
These search queries will return a "Validation failed" error message.
Timeouts and incomplete results
To keep the Search API fast for everyone, we limit how long any individual query can run. For queries that exceed the time limit, the API returns the matches that were already found prior to the timeout, and the response has the incomplete_results property set to true.
Atingir um tempo limite não significa necessariamente que os resultados da pesquisa estão incompletos. More results might have been found, but also might not.
Access errors or missing search results
You need to successfully authenticate and have access to the repositories in your search queries, otherwise, you'll see a 422 Unprocessible Entry error with a "Validation Failed" message. For example, your search will fail if your query includes repo:, user:, or org: qualifiers that request resources that you don't have access to when you sign in on GitHub.
When your search query requests multiple resources, the response will only contain the resources that you have access to and will not provide an error message listing the resources that were not returned.
For example, if your search query searches for the octocat/test and codertocat/test repositories, but you only have access to octocat/test, your response will show search results for octocat/test and nothing for codertocat/test. This behavior mimics how search works on GitHub.
Search code
Searches for query terms inside of a file. This method returns up to 100 results per page.
When searching for code, you can get text match metadata for the file content and file path fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about how to receive highlighted search results, see Text match metadata.
For example, if you want to find the definition of the addClass function inside jQuery repository, your query would look something like this:
q=addClass+in:file+language:js+repo:jquery/jquery
This query searches for the keyword addClass within a file's contents. The query limits the search to files where the language is JavaScript in the jquery/jquery repository.
Considerations for code search
Due to the complexity of searching code, there are a few restrictions on how searches are performed:
- Only the default branch is considered. In most cases, this will be the
masterbranch. - Only files smaller than 10 MB are searchable.

Notes
Aviso de pré-visualização
The Commit Search API 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.cloak-preview
Search issues and pull requests
Find issues by state and keyword. This method returns up to 100 results per page.
When searching for issues, you can get text match metadata for the issue title, issue body, and issue comment body fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about how to receive highlighted
search results, see Text match metadata.
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, whick means the oldest issues appear first in the search results.

Search labels
Find labels in a repository with names or descriptions that match search keywords. Returns up to 100 results per page.
When searching for labels, you can get text match metadata for the label name and description fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about how to receive highlighted search results, see Text match metadata.
For example, if you want to find labels in the linguist repository that match bug, defect, or enhancement. Your query might look like this:
q=bug+defect+enhancement&repository_id=64778136
The labels that best match the query appear first in the search results.

Search repositories
Find repositories via various criteria. This method returns up to 100 results per page.
When searching for repositories, you can get text match metadata for the name and description fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about how to receive highlighted search results, see Text match metadata.
For example, if you want to search for popular Tetris repositories written in assembly code, your query might look like this:
q=tetris+language:assembly&sort=stars&order=desc
This query searches for repositories with the word tetris in the name, the description, or the README. The results are limited to repositories where the primary language is assembly. The results are sorted by stars in descending order, so that the most popular repositories appear first in the search results.
When you include the mercy preview header, you can also search for multiple topics by adding more topic: instances. For example, your query might look like this:
q=topic:ruby+topic:rails
get /search/repositoriesParâmetros
| Name | Type | In | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
accept |
string | header |
Setting to |
q |
string | query |
The query contains one or more search keywords and qualifiers. Qualifiers allow you to limit your search to specific areas of GitHub. The REST API supports the same qualifiers as GitHub.com. To learn more about the format of the query, see Constructing a search query. See "Searching for repositories" for a detailed list of qualifiers. |

Notes
Text match metadata
On GitHub, you can use the context provided by code snippets and highlights in search results. The Search API offers additional metadata that allows you to highlight the matching search terms when displaying search results.
Requests can opt to receive those text fragments in the response, and every fragment is accompanied by numeric offsets identifying the exact location of each matching search term.
To get this metadata in your search results, specify the text-match media type in your Accept header.
application/vnd.github.v3.text-match+jsonWhen you provide the text-match media type, you will receive an extra key in the JSON payload called text_matches that provides information about the position of your search terms within the text and the property that includes the search term. Inside the text_matches array, each object includes the following attributes:
| Nome | Descrição |
|---|---|
object_url | The URL for the resource that contains a string property matching one of the search terms. |
object_type | The name for the type of resource that exists at the given object_url. |
property | The name of a property of the resource that exists at object_url. That property is a string that matches one of the search terms. (In the JSON returned from object_url, the full content for the fragment will be found in the property with this name.) |
fragmento | A subset of the value of property. This is the text fragment that matches one or more of the search terms. |
matches | An array of one or more search terms that are present in fragment. The indices (i.e., "offsets") are relative to the fragment. (They are not relative to the full content of property.) |
Exemplo
Using cURL, and the example issue search above, our API request would look like this:
curl -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.text-match+json' \
'http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3/search/issues?q=windows+label:bug+language:python+state:open&sort=created&order=asc'The response will include a text_matches array for each search result. In the JSON below, we have two objects in the text_matches array.
The first text match occurred in the body property of the issue. We see a fragment of text from the issue body. The search term (windows) appears twice within that fragment, and we have the indices for each occurrence.
The second text match occurred in the body property of one of the issue's comments. We have the URL for the issue comment. And of course, we see a fragment of text from the comment body. The search term (windows) appears once within that fragment.
