Github API: How to get user commits from specific repository?

How to get user commits or pull requests from the specific repository?

I can only see getting recent commits from the repository. I only want to get a specific user's commit.

Thanks in advance 🙏

To see commits from specific user to a given repo:
a) with gh cli:

gh api \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  /repos/OWNER/REPO/commits?author=USERNAME

b) curl:

curl \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/commits?author=USERNAME

author - github username or email address.

Alternative way to get commits with GraphQL API

# get the user ID
{
  user(login: "hyochan") {
    id
  }
}

# result
{
  "data": {
    "user": {
      "id": "MDQ6VXNlcjI3NDYxNDYw"
    }
  }
}

# get the commits from a given repo for the user  ID
{
  repository(owner: "hyochan", name: "react-native-masonry-list") {
    defaultBranchRef {
      name
      target {
        ... on Commit {
          history(first: 10, author: {id: "MDQ6VXNlcjI3NDYxNDYw"}) {
            nodes {
              author {
                user {
                  login
                }
              }
              committedDate
              abbreviatedOid
              message
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
