List all issues from an organization's private repo using github api v3

Question

I'm trying to retrieve all issues from an org's private repo but not having much luck.

I'm using a ruby gem "github_api" but I've also tried just trying to access it using curl

So far I'm able to retrieve all issues that I'm assigned or that I'm subscribed but not all issues that exist for that particular repo.

Using the github_api gem (https://github.com/peter-murach/github), I've gotten this far

@github.issues.issues(:filter => "subscribed")

FYI: I'm the owner of the org and repo

Looking at the github api (issues) there doesn't appear to be a filter that will return what I need.

Is this even possible?

Thanks!

just found the solution. when dealing with organizations. The organization is the actual github user.

So in case of the url:

https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:repo/issues

replace :user by the org name and :repo by the repo name

As far as the github_api gem, use the organization name as the user

@github = Github.new :basic_auth => 'user:pass',
:org => 'org_name',
:user => 'org_name',
:repo => 'repo_name'
