About

Collects issues from public GitHub repositories via the official REST API (api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues) — no authentication or API key needed.

Each item includes the issue number, title, state (with close reason), author, labels (name + color + description), assignees, milestone, comment count, reaction breakdown (👍 👎 ❤️ 🚀 …), timestamps, and a body excerpt.

Inputs

repos — one or more repositories as owner/name (full GitHub URLs also accepted).
state — open, closed, or all issues.
labels — optional comma-separated label filter (e.g. bug,help wanted).
sort — created, updated, or most-commented first.
includePullRequests — the API mixes PRs into the issues list; off by default.
maxItemsPerRepo — cap per repository (paginated at 100/request).

Source: official public JSON API. Unauthenticated rate limit is 60 requests/hour; set a GITHUB_TOKEN env var on the runner to raise it.
