This is a listing of the Search API features from API v2 that have been ported to API v3. There should be no changes, other than the new URL and JSON output format.

Find issues by state and keyword.

GET /legacy/issues/search/:owner/:repository/:state/:keyword

state : open or closed

keyword : Search term

<%= headers 200 %> <%= json(:issue_search_results) %>

GET /legacy/repos/search/:keyword

keyword : Search term

language : Optional Filter results by language

start_page : Optional Page number to fetch

<%= headers 200 %> <%= json(:repo_search_results) %>

Find users by keyword.

GET /legacy/user/search/:keyword

keyword : Keyword search parameters

<%= headers 200 %> <%= json(:user_search_results) %>

This API call is added for compatibility reasons only. There's no guarantee that full email searches will always be available.

GET /legacy/user/email/:email

email : Email address

<%= headers 200 %> <%= json(:email_search_results) %>
