New GitLab issue list API

I need to access GitLab Arch issues via REST API but I can't figure out the URL to use.

I tried the following:
curl -sL --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: my-private-arch-gitlab-token" "https://gitlab.archlinux.org/api/v4/iss … ate=opened"

It is based on the spec here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/issues.html
It seems to be working, no errors, returns a valid JSON, but the result is just an empty list.

Re: New GitLab issue list API

By default it returns only issues created by the current user. To get all issues, use parameter scope=all.

Re: New GitLab issue list API

That's it! Thank you.

BTW, maybe you know the solution to another relevant issue. I am trying to pull bugs with either "severity::2-high" or "severity::1-critical". I am not sure if this is even possible. A request such as this

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: my-token-XXX" "https://gitlab.archlinux.org/api/v4/issues?sort=desc&order_by=created_at&scope=all&labels=scope::bug&labels=severity::2-high,severity::1-critical"

attempts to pull issues with both severity labels present, which obviously results in an empty list and not what's needed. I wonder if there is a way to have the request match issues with any of the specified labels.
