Hi,

I am trying to find the creation date for all organizations that have a specific word in their name or description, for example, ‘biology’. So far I have something like this

curl https://api.github.com/search/users?q=biology+type:org

Which gives me objects like this…

{
      "login": "computational-biology",
      "id": 7949613,
      "node_id": "MDEyOk9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbjc5NDk2MTM=",
      "avatar_url": "https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/7949613?v=4",
      "gravatar_id": "",
      "url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology",
      "html_url": "https://github.com/computational-biology",
      "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/followers",
      "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/following{/other_user}",
      "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/gists{/gist_id}",
      "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/starred{/owner}{/repo}",
      "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/subscriptions",
      "organizations_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/orgs",
      "repos_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/repos",
      "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/events{/privacy}",
      "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/computational-biology/received_events",
      "type": "Organization",
      "site_admin": false,
      "score": 1.0
    }

I can go to the ‘repos_url’ key and get the creation date of the individual repos, but is there any way to simply get the creation date of the organization itself?

Thank you.
