Difference between repositories listed in UI and API search result #24570
-
|
I see some odd behavior regarding repositories search API. Checking some random user, I can see that he has 29 repositories listed in his Github user page:https://github.com/adidi?tab=repositories When trying to run a query that gets all of his repositories, I get only 14 (total count): https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=user:adidi Both requests were performed from the browser without any authentication, so there is no permission issue involved. Do you know what can cause this? Thanks, Ilia |

For whoever is interested, the issue is that forked repositories are filtered out by default. From the documenation: To include forks in the search results, you will need to add fork:true or fork:only to your query. |
