# Issues
Every API call to issues must be authenticated.
If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a `GET`
request on that project will result to a `404` status code.
## Issues pagination
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
Read more on [pagination](README.md#pagination).
## List issues
Get all issues created by the authenticated user.
```
GET /issues
GET /issues?state=opened
GET /issues?state=closed

GET /issues?labels=foo,bar&state=opened

## Delete existing issue (**Deprecated**)
This call is deprecated and returns a `405 Method Not Allowed` error if called.
An issue gets now closed and is done by calling
`PUT /projects/:id/issues/:issue_id` with the parameter `state_event` set to
`close`. See [edit issue](#edit-issue) for more details.
```
DELETE /projects/:id/issues/:issue_id
```
