## README

### GitHub Repository Issues API

List a GitHub repository's issues and pull requests by repository URL (GitHub lists pull requests as issues), with each one's author, state, labels, counts and body. Filter by state, sort and last-activity date.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "github/repository-issues", "url": "https://github.com/openai/whisper"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. Lookups that find nothing fail with a not-found error.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | GitHub repository URL, e.g. https://github.com/openai/whisper. |
| `limit` | integer | No | Rows per page, 1-100 (GitHub's own page-size limit). Keep it the same while walking pages, because it sets the page size. Default `100`. |
| `order` | string | No | Sort direction. Defaults to desc. One of: `desc`, `asc`. |
| `page` | integer | No | 1-based page of issues. Request page + 1 while hasMore is true. Default `1`. |
| `since` | string | No | Only issues last-active on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). |
| `sort` | string | No | Sort by creation date, last update, or number of comments. Defaults to opened. One of: `created`, `updated`, `comments`. |
| `state` | string | No | Which issues to list. Defaults to open. One of: `open`, `closed`, `all`. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, about $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls and lookups that find nothing are not charged.
