How to use github java API (org.eclipse.egit.github.*) to search for Users by Mail

Question

I'm using GitHub Java API (org.eclipse.egit.github.*) and I have to search for a specific Users to assign Issues.

The problem is that I have to look for proper user by his/her mail and not with userid.

I cannot see any Search method in UserService class... any advice please?

@assylias yep! So I have to necessarily go outside Java library and use directly ReST calls, right? — Davide TheSgrash, Nov 05 '19 at 13:50

At the moment this library doesn't offer this feature. The only way is to invoke the Search User ReST Endpoint

/api/v3/search/users?q=$MAIL

and pass the email as query parameter.
