Note: If an issue is opened 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
Warning: The API may change without advance notice during the preview period. Preview features are not supported for production use. If you experience any issues, contact GitHub Support or GitHub Premium Support.
List issues in an organization assigned to the authenticated user.
GET /orgs/:org/issues
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.
