# GitHub Repository Issues

Returns the issues and pull requests of a repository with title, body, state, labels, assignees, milestone, comments count and dates. Filter with state, sort and direction. GitHub returns pull requests on this route as well; each entry carries a pull_request marker when that is the case.

- **Documentation:** [https://scrappa.co/docs/github-api/github_repository_issues](https://scrappa.co/docs/github-api/github_repository_issues)
- **API group:** GitHub API
- **Endpoint:** `GET https://scrappa.co/api/github/repository/issues`

## Authentication

Send your Scrappa API key in the `X-API-KEY` request header. Paid endpoints also support accountless x402 payments when called without an API key.

## Parameters

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Errors

| Status | Error | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 422 | Validation Error | A parameter failed validation. |
| 404 | Not Found | GitHub has no public resource at that address. For a repository this also covers a private or renamed repository, which is indistinguishable anonymously. |
| 503 | GitHub Upstream Unavailable | The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly. |
| 500 | Parser Drift | GitHub returned a response shape this parser does not recognise. The incident has been reported; retrying will return the same result. |
| 406 | Not Acceptable Upstream | GitHub has no JSON representation for this route, or rejected the request headers. Never charged. |
