Pull Requests for User GraphQL Query No Longer Returning Results

Question

Body

Late in 2024, I was able to use the GraphQL with a PAT that included sufficient read permissions to return pull request data by a user account. The query below is simplified; though, at the time I was pulling back more details on a pull requests. From executing the request, I see in the response header that I am not hitting a rate limit. I also tested this query in an explorer window:

{
"query": "{user(login: "MY_GITHUB_LOGIN_ID") { pullRequests(first: 100) { nodes { title} } } }"
}

This results 0 results even though I've created well over 50 PRs. Has something changed to no longer allow querying pull requests by user login?

I’m also seeing this behavior recently. It seems the user.pullRequests field only returns PRs from owned repos, not contributions to other repos. You might need to query search with type:pr author:username instead. Let me know if this works for you.
