API

Body

Hi,
For one of our Pull Request cms-sw/root#233 , the github get pull request api shows 0 file changed [a] where as actually there are over 8000+ files changed. Our CI/CD tesst uses pull request API information to start the tests but as api shows 0 files changed so CI/CD did not trigger.

I tried closing and reopening PR, changing base branch but nothing helped. Any idea why github API is returning 0 files changed?

Thanks,

Hey there! 👋

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @smuzaffar ! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting in the applicable category. The Apps, API and Webhooks category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback GitHub's APIs and webhooks. GitHub provides two APIs: a REST API and a GraphQL API. Webhooks allow you to build or set up integrations, such as GitHub Apps or OAuth Apps, which subscribe to certain events on GitHub.com

I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you. Good luck!
