GitHub API - how to move an issue to a project?

Question

There are several ways to move a Github issue to a Project board through the GitHub user interface, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this via the API (either v3 or v4). Is this missing functionality?

Answer 1

You can:

• create a project card: POST /projects/columns/:column_id/cards
• move a project card: POST /projects/columns/cards/:card_id/moves

That is:

• The first one allows you to associate an issue to a project card,

content_id: The issue or pull request id you want to associate with this card. You can use the List issues for a repository and List pull requests endpoints to find this id.
Note: Depending on whether you use the issue id or pull request id, you will need to specify Issue or PullRequest as the content_type.

• the second one allows you to move a card (and its associated issue)

Those two calls ought to be enough.

The OP Ken Liu asked in the comments if there is any way to add an issue to a project without adding it to a project column.

seth suggests:

You can add an issue to the repo using code (GitHub API) as per creating an issue
