GitHub Repo Issues API
Scrape GitHub Repo Issues data with one API call. Returns issues for the repository under `data.items[]`. NOTE: GitHub treats pull requests as issues for this endpoint — every PR also appears here, distinguishable by the presence of a `pull_request` field on the item. Filter by `state`, comma-separated `labels`, sort by `created`/`updated`/`comments`, and paginate with `per_page`/`page`. `since` accepts an ISO 8601 timestamp.
