Github API sorting search results by the created_at field

Question

How can I create a search query sorted by the created_at field? I\'ve tried:

https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=blog&sort=created_         


        

Answer 1

The sort parameter only takes one of three values: stars, forks or updated:

The sort field. One of stars, forks, or updated. Default: results are sorted by best match.

It doesn't appear to be possible to sort by creation date, but you could read the response of the search query into an array and sort from there.
