Exception: Invalid argument: https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=is:issue+label:kind/bug+state:open+created:<2021-06-18

Hi,

I get this invalid argument when I include "created:<=2021-06-18 " as part of the query

var baseURL = "https://api.github.com/";

var query = "search/issues?q=is:issue+label:kind/bug+state:open+created:<2021-06-18"

if (service.hasAccess()) {

Logger.log("App has access.");

// var api = baseURL + query + endDate;

var api = baseURL + query;

var headers = {

"Authorization": "Bearer " + getGithubService_().getAccessToken(),

"Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json"

};

var options = {

"headers": headers,

"method" : "GET",

"muteHttpExceptions": true

};

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(api, options);   // exception happens here

However if I copy the URL as displayed in the exception message and paste it into the browser I get the expected result.

If I remove the "created:<2021-06-18" portion and run the code all goes fine.

Any suggestions of why this happens?

Thanks

It's probably that angle-bracket causing the problem. Try putting the URL through URIEncodeComponent() first.

For example, is this sample script useful for your situation?

Yes, it was due to the "<". After encoding it it worked as expected. So simple solution.

Thank you all.
