I could use curl and get JSON for zenhub board a specific repository.
How do I get the same with multiple repository and for a specific assignee

Something like this ?

curl -H 'X-Authentication-Token: 'xxxxxx' https://xxxx.xxx.com/p1/repositories/repid1+repid2/board/user/assignees

This works for single repository
curl -H 'X-Authentication-Token: 'xxxxxx' https://xxxx.xxx.com/p1/repositories/repid1/board

Hi, Pablo from the ZenHub team here.

Currently, the Board endpoint is specific for a repo, so in order to get the full Board data you will need to make one request per connected repo.

There are two options to get the Board data for specific assignees:

1. Fetch the Board data for each repo and use the GitHub API to fetch the assignee’s data for each issue in the Board.
2. Fetch the issues assigned to a particular user (this endpoint is also per repository) and then fetch the ZenHub data (current pipeline, estimate, epic status) using the ZenHub API (get issues data endpoint).

The second alternative is best if you only need to do this for one particular assignee, the first one will be more efficient if you need the same information for several assignees.

The docs for the endpoints mentioned above:

• ZenHub API - Get Board Data
• ZenHub API - Get Issue Data
• GitHub API - Get Issues for a Repository

I hope this helps you!
