I want to download issues from Jabref, an open-source citation tool.
I looked up how to do this, and it looks like the way everyone does it is through curl like this (source):
curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/<repo-owner>/<repo-name>/issues" -u "<user-name>"
The problem is that I'm not the owner of the repository, so I'm not sure what to fill in for repo-owner. I also don't know who the owner is, since apparently Github hides that information, but even if I did I probably wouldn't have the required permissions.
Is anyone allowed to download issues from public repositories, or do you have to be a collaborator? If anyone is allowed, what should I fill in for repo-owner?
In the case of the public repository https://github.com/JabRef/jabref, the repoèowner is simply JabRef.
curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/JabRef/jabref/issues" -u "<user-name>"
This uses the GitHub API "List issues for a repository", available for anyone on public repositories.
