Description

In the api models, there is no field other than the "full_name" field in the object that represents the organizations. This "full_name" field refers to the "Organization Full Name" field in the organization settings. However, the information requested in API queries is the information in the "Organization Name" field. And this information is one that cannot be retrieved with the current api model.

This causes an error in requests like "/orgs/{org}/hooks", "/orgs/{org}/members" etc if organization name and display name are different.

For example, if the organization name is Microsoft, the address of the request should be "/orgs/Microsoft/members", but since the organization's full name is Microsoft Inc, the address will be "/orgs/Microsoft%20Inc/members" and the response is as follows as an example.

{
  "errors": [
    "user redirect does not exist [name: microsoft inc]"
  ],
  "message": "GetOrgByName",
  "url": "https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger"
}

KN4CK3R, username is not available in organization api model. Where exactly should I put a username?

It's in your screenshot. Third from bottom.

You don't call the API with the display name but the username.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. But this information is not available in the documentation. As is known, there is no "username" field among model members in the documentation. In any case, I got my answer. Thanks for your attention. I'm closing the issue.

I'm sorry for the late reply.
What I want to say is the lack of information. Since the object name is "organization" and the field name is "username", I think it would be more understandable if there was a description text or if the field name was like "name" or "org_name" instead of "username". Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to do it like this (write documentation) it's just my opinion. That's why I opened such an issue. Thanks for your understanding and help.

Org and user model are the same internally, so that may be reason. I would like to say "it's the same as GitHub does" but they named the field just name. May be changed in the future. 🤷‍♂️
