Paginated
Pass thenext_tokena page returns to get the next one.
Documents from every repository in the group and its subgroups that you can see; a repository
you cannot see contributes nothing and never shortens a page. Takes the same filters as a
repository's document listing, and refuses an unknown filter value with 400. Paginated with
limit (20 by default, at most 100) and next_token. Anyone who can see the group may call it;
on a public group that includes callers who are not signed in.

400Unknown filter value or malformed cursorapplication/json
Error codes
- BAD_REQUESTThe request is malformed: a parameter or a body field is not a well-formed value of its type
errorErrorBody
- The ErrorBody schema
- codestringThe coarse category, tied to the status:
NOT_FOUND,CONFLICT,INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. Every error has one; the API reference's error catalogue lists them all. - messagestringWhat went wrong, for a person. Written to be read, not parsed: match on
reasonorcode. - fieldstring or nulloptionalOn a
400that refused one field's value, the field, as its JSON path:email,items[0].name. Put the message under that input. Absent on every other error. - reasonstring or nulloptionalThe specific code, when the error has one:
LAST_ORGANIZATION_OWNER,BRANCH_PROTECTED. The message starts with it too. Match on this when it is present, and oncodeotherwise. - required_scopestring or nulloptionalThe scope the access token was missing, on
INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. - violationsanyoptionalPresent on the structured-validation errors (
PROVIDER_VALIDATION_FAILEDper-node,PIPELINE_VALIDATION_FAILEDDAG): a JSON array of the offending elements, so a caller can fix every one in a single round-trip. Absent (omitted) on every other error.

reasonnames the permission or the rule that refused it - INSUFFICIENT_SCOPEThe access token lacks the scope this operation needs;
required_scopenames it - PERMISSION_REQUIREDYou need a permission you do not hold here; the message names it
