GET /search/repositories
Find repositories via various criteria. This method returns up to 100 results per page.
When searching for repositories, you can get text match metadata for the name and description fields when you pass the text-match media type. For more details about how to receive highlighted search results, see Text match metadata.
For example, if you want to search for popular Tetris repositories written in assembly code, your query might look like this:
q=tetris+language:assembly&sort=stars&order=desc
This query searches for repositories with the word tetris in the name, the description, or the README. The results are limited to repositories where the primary language is assembly. The results are sorted by stars in descending order, so that the most popular repositories appear first in the search results.
