Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "github",
  "endpoint": "/v1/github/repo/issues",
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "id": 44,
        "number": 7,
        "title": "Example issue",
        "is_pull_request": false

The example uses fictional values and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside dataTypeMeaning
itemsarrayRecords in this response page.
items[].idnumber | string | nullSource ID. Preserve its original representation; do not coerce a large string ID to a JavaScript number.
items[].numbernumber | nullIssue number within this repository.
items[].titlestring | nullIssue title.
items[].bodystring | nullIssue text; bundle previews may be shortened.
items[].urlstring | nullOriginal source URL when supplied.
items[].statestring | nullSource issue state.
items[].is_pull_requestboolean | nullWhether the source item is a pull request.
items[].authorstring | nullAuthor login.
items[].commentsnumber | nullComments reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
items[].created_atstring | nullSource publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
items[].updated_atstring | nullSource publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
countnumber | nullReturned row count when supplied; not the full source total.
cursorstring | nullOpaque next-page token. A missing token does not prove full history was retrieved.
has_moreboolean | nullSource continuation indicator; null means unknown.
_warningsarrayCollection limitations or component warnings. Read before interpreting coverage.

The source feed includes pull requests. The type filter can be applied to an already fetched page.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
