Search Data API

Scrape GitHub Search data with one API call. Searches issues and PRs across all of GitHub via the `/search/issues` endpoint. Supports GitHub's full search syntax — qualifiers like `repo:owner/name`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `label:bug`, `created:>2026-01-01`, `author:username`, `comments:>10`. Sort by `reactions`, `comments`, `created`, or `updated`. Results land under `data.items[]` with `total_count` and `incomplete_results` siblings. Rate-limited to 30 req/min per token.
