# Get GitHub issue

> Get one GitHub issue or pull request by repository-local number.

`getGitHubIssue` gets an issue or pull request through GitHub's shared Issues API.

```ts automations/get-github-issue.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { getGitHubIssue } from "automate.ax/github"

export default automation("Get GitHub issue", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })
  getGitHubIssue({
    owner: "SentsCo",
    repository: "automate.ax",
    issueNumber: 179,
  })
})
```

`owner`, `repository`, and positive integer `issueNumber` are required. Optional `account` defaults to the project's GitHub binding. Inputs accept compatible signals.

Returns GitHub's complete typed issue object, including identifiers, state, title, body, labels, assignees, milestone, comments, timestamps, and URLs. Pull requests include a `pull_request` marker. GitHub returns an error when the installation cannot access the repository or the number does not exist.
