GitHub Search API

GET   /api/v1/search?engine=github_search
OpenAPI Initiative Download OpenAPI Spec

The GitHub Search API returns results from GitHub as structured JSON. A single engine covers every GitHub search vertical, selected with the type parameter: repositories (default), users, issues, pull_requests, commits, topics, discussions, packages, wikis and marketplace. The q parameter accepts GitHub's full search qualifier syntax (for example language:ruby stars:>1000).

API Parameters

Search Query

  • Name
    q
    Required
    Required
    Description

    The search query. Supports GitHub's search qualifier syntax, e.g. language:ruby stars:>1000 topic:cli for repositories, or is:pr is:merged for issues.

Search Type

  • Name
    type
    Required
    Optional
    Description

    The GitHub search vertical to query. Each type returns its own result shape. Options are:

    • repositories - repositories (default)
    • users - users and organizations
    • issues - issues and pull requests
    • pull_requests - pull requests only
    • commits - commits
    • topics - topics
    • discussions - discussions
    • packages - packages
    • wikis - wiki pages
    • marketplace - Marketplace apps, Actions and GitHub Models

Sorting

  • Name
    sort
    Required
    Optional
    Description

    Sorts the results by the given field. By default, results are ranked by GitHub's Best match relevance. The available values depend on type:

    • repositories: stars, forks, help_wanted_issues, updated
    • users: followers, repositories, joined
    • issues, pull_requests: created, updated, comments, reactions, interactions
    • commits: author_date, committer_date
    • discussions: updated, comments, reactions, interactions
    • packages: updated, created, downloads
    • wikis: updated
    • marketplace: updated, created, popularity
    • topics: not sortable

  • Name
    order
    Required
    Optional
    Description

    Sort direction. Requires sort — sending order on its own is rejected with a 400 error rather than ignored. Options are desc (default) and asc.

Pagination

  • Name
    page
    Required
    Optional
    Description

    The page of results to return. GitHub serves 10 results per page, up to page 100 (the first 1,000 results).

Engine

  • Name
    engine
    Required
    Required
    Description

    Parameter defines an engine that will be used to retrieve real-time data. It must be set to github_search.

API key

  • Name
    api_key
    Required
    Required
    Description

    The api_key authenticates your requests. Use it as a query parameter (https://www.searchapi.io/api/v1/search?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY) or in the Authorization header (Bearer YOUR_API_KEY).

Zero Data Retention

  • Name
    zero_retention
    Enterprise Only
    Enterprise Only
    Required
    Optional
    Description

    Set this parameter to true to disable all logging and persistent storage. No request parameters, HTML, or JSON responses are stored or logged. Suitable for high-compliance use cases. Debugging and support may be limited while enabled.

      "extended_description": "### How to set up CircleCI \n\nFor the best experience, we recommend setting up your CircleCI integration through the CircleCI web app rather than installing from the GitHub Marketplace.\n\n## To integrate via OAuth (this listing's integration):\n\n- New to CircleCI? Sign up using \"Log in with GitHub\" at https://circleci.com/signup - your organizations and repositories will be automatically connected through OAuth.\n- Already have a CircleCI account? Follow the GitHub OAuth integration guide: https://circleci.com/docs/guides/integration/github-integration/#connect-a-github-account\n\n## To integrate via the CircleCI GitHub App:\n\n- Log in to your CircleCI account\n- Navigate to Organization Settings > VCS Connections\n- Follow the prompts to install and configure the CircleCI GitHub App\n\nBoth integrations can be used alongside each other. Learn more: [Using the CircleCI GitHub App in an OAuth organization - CircleCI Docs](https://circleci.com/docs/guides/integration/using-the-circleci-github-app-in-an-oauth-org/) \n\n### Why teams choose CircleCI\n\n**Lightning-fast feedback** - Intelligent caching, test splitting, and autoscaling deliver some of the fastest build times in CI/CD, so your team spends less time waiting and more time shipping.\n\n**Flexible execution** - Run jobs across a wide range of environments - Docker, Linux, macOS, Windows, Arm, GPU - or bring your own infrastructure with self-hosted runners.\n\n**Enterprise-grade confidence** - FedRAMP authorized and SOC 2 Type II certified, with audit logs, OIDC, and granular access controls to protect your software supply chain.\n\n**Autonomous validation** - Chunk, CircleCI's CI/CD agent, tackles flaky tests, failed builds, and configuration drift so your team can focus on building, not pipeline maintenance.\n\nNeed help?
