Search Users - BlinkOps Documentation

Find users via various criteria. This method returns up to 100 results per page. When searching for users, you can get text match metadata for the issue login, public email, and name fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about highlighting search results, see Text match metadata. For more details about how to receive highlighted search results, see Text match metadata. For example, if you’re looking for a list of popular users, you might try this query: q=tom+repos:%3E42+followers:%3E1000 This query searches for users with the name tom. The results are restricted to users with more than 42 repositories and over 1,000 followers.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
Query	The query contains one or more search keywords and qualifiers. Qualifiers allow you to limit your search to specific areas of GitHub. The REST API supports the same qualifiers as the web interface for GitHub. To learn more about the format of the query, see Constructing a search query. See “Searching users” for a detailed list of qualifiers.
Return All Pages	Automatically fetch all resources, page by page.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Order	Determines whether the first search result returned is the highest number of matches (`desc`) or lowest number of matches (`asc`). This parameter is ignored unless you provide `sort`.
Page	Page number of the results to fetch.
Per Page	The number of results per page (max 100).
Sort	Sorts the results of your query by number of `followers` or `repositories`, or when the person `joined` GitHub. Default: best match.
