--- title: "Search for code in a user's repositories" method: GET path: "/users/{selected_user}/search/code" tags: ["Search"] deprecated: true --- # Search for code in a user's repositories `GET /users/{selected_user}/search/code` > **Deprecated.** This API will be deprecated on November 1, 2026. Search for code in the repositories of the specified user. Note that searches can match in the file's text (`content_matches`), the path (`path_matches`), or both. You can use the same syntax for the search query as in the UI. E.g. to search for "foo" only within the repository "demo", use the query parameter `search_query=foo+repo:demo`. Similar to other APIs, you can request more fields using a `fields` query parameter. E.g. to get some more information about the repository of matched files, use the query parameter `search_query=foo&fields=%2Bvalues.file.commit.repository` (the `%2B` is a URL-encoded `+`). ## Path parameters - `selected_user` string, required ## Query parameters - `search_query` string, required - `page` integer - `pagelen` integer ## Response `200` Successful search - SearchResultPage - `size` integer - `page` integer - `pagelen` integer - `query_substituted` boolean - `next` string, uri - `previous` string, uri - `values` SearchCodeSearchResult[] - `type` string - `content_match_count` integer - `content_matches` SearchContentMatch[] - `lines` SearchLine[] - `line` integer - `segments` SearchSegment[] - `text` string - `match` boolean - `path_matches` SearchSegment[] - `text` string - `match` boolean - `file` CommitFile — A file object, representing a file at a commit in a repository - `type` string, required - `path` string — The path in the repository - `commit` Commit — A repository commit object. - `type` string, required - `hash` string - `date` string, date-time - `author` Author — The author of a change in a repository - `type` string, required - `raw` string — The raw author value from the repository.
