# List issues

> Issues on a repository, newest first.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/issues</code></div>

An issue is something that should change: a bug, a feature, a question. Pull requests are made against it.

Returns at most 100 issues, newest first. `comment_count` counts comments, not events such as "opened #14 for this".

- **Authentication:** Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
- **MCP tool:** [`issue`](/reference/mcp/#issue) with `action` `list`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`issues:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
