title: Downloading Issues from a Public GitHub Repository
body: <p>I want to download issues from <a href="https://github.com/JabRef/jabref" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jabref</a>, an open-source citation tool.</p>
  
  <p>I looked up how to do this, and it looks like the way everyone does it is through curl like this (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41369365/how-can-i-export-github-issues-to-excel">source</a>):</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -i "https://api.github.com/repos/&lt;repo-owner&gt;/&lt;repo-name&gt;/issues" -u "&lt;user-name&gt;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I'm not the owner of the repository, so I'm not sure what to fill in for repo-owner. I also don't know who the owner is, since apparently Github hides that information, but even if I did I probably wouldn't have the required permissions.</p>
  
  <p>Is anyone allowed to download issues from public repositories, or do you have to be a collaborator? If anyone is allowed, what should I fill in for repo-owner?</p>
