## github/search

`GET /v1/github/search`

Search GitHub issues and pull requests with full advanced-search query syntax.

*GitHub issue search*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | GitHub advanced search query, passed through verbatim — e.g. `repo:vercel/next.js is:issue is:open label:bug` |
| `sort` | no | Sort key, e.g. comments, reactions, created, updated — e.g. `reactions` |
| `order` | no | Sort direction: asc or desc — e.g. `desc` |
| `limit` | no | Items per page, max 100 — e.g. `25` |
| `cursor` | no | Opaque page cursor from a previous response — e.g. `2` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 3 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
