Seeking a way to clone the issues for github projects

Question

I would like to be able to use git to clone the issues for various projects on github. I know I can clone the code and the wiki (if it exists). I cannot find a way to clone

Answer 1

Thanks to @madhu-bhat's suggestion I read the documents on GitHub's v3 API and discovered examples such as

curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/vmg/redcarpet/issues?state=closed"

which I then revised to get the open issues for one of our projects:

curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues?state=open"

This approach does what I need and allows me to filter by the state, etc. +1 for StackOverflow.
