How to use `gh api` with pagination to retrieve all results from GitHub REST API endpoints, including PRs and issues.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GitHub API Pagination with `gh api` ## Overview GitHub REST API returns paginated results (default 30, max 100 per page). Use `gh api` with `--paginate` to automatically fetch all pages. ## Basic Usage ```bash # Fetch all pages automatically gh api --paginate /repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls \ -X GET \ -f state=all \ -f per_page=100 # Use GraphQL for complex queries (no pagination needed for small sets) gh api graphql -f query='...' ``` ## REST API: List PRs with Date Filtering ```bash # Get all PRs created in December 2024 (state=all includes open/closed/merged) gh api --paginate \ "repos/cli/cli/pulls?state=all&per_page=100&sort=created&direction=desc" \ --jq '.[] | select(.created_at >= "2024-12-01T00:00:00Z" and .created_at < "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z")' ``` > Note: `--jq` applies a jq filter to each page's output. ## REST API: List Issues with Date Filtering ```bash gh api --paginate \ "repos/cli/cli/issues?state=all&per_page=100&sort=created&direction=desc" \ --jq '.[] | select(.pull_request == null)' # exclude PRs from issues endpoint ``` ## Search API (Efficient for Date Ranges) The Search API is better for date-bounded queries: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add cxcscmu/skilllearnbench/github-api-pagination@sha256:0e55a73c73cc2ec8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.d50cf5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
