Issues
Every API call to issues must be authenticated.
If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a GET
request on that project will result to a 404
status code.
Issues pagination
By default, GET
requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
Read more on pagination.
List issues
Get all issues created by the authenticated user.
