Search gists
search_gistsRead-onlyIdempotent
Search gists by title, description, topics, or owner with filters for scope, visibility, and update time.
Instructions
Find gists by title, description, topics or owner. Opengist has no search API, so this pages through the list endpoints and filters client-side — it is therefore bounded and can be incomplete; the result always says how much was scanned and whether it was cut short. Searching inside file contents is not supported (it would mean downloading every file of every gist): narrow the field here, then read candidates with get_gist.
