V2 API Endpoint Returns 500 Internal Server Error (`/api/v2/issues`)

[belloibrahv]

🔍 Issue Summary

The newly implemented V2 API endpoint (/api/v2/issues) is currently returning a 500 Internal Server Error, preventing the successful migration from the legacy endpoint. This issue was discovered during the implementation of updated Hugo shortcodes for the contributor grid system.

🐛 Current Behavior

When accessing the V2 API endpoint, the server responds with a 500 Internal Server Error:

Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Sat Oct 19 22:25:41 UTC 2024
There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).

✅ Expected Behavior

The endpoint should return a JSON response containing the issues data, similar to the current working endpoint (/api/hacktoberfest-issues).

🔄 Steps to Reproduce

1. Access the V2 API endpoint directly:

   GET https://hedera-issues.koyeb.app/api/v2/issues

2. Observe the 500 Internal Server Error response

🔍 Technical Details

Endpoint Information

• Failed Endpoint: https://hedera-issues.koyeb.app/api/v2/issues
• Current Working Endpoint: https://hedera-issues.koyeb.app/api/hacktoberfest-issues
• Implementation Location: ApiEndpoint.java

Code vs. Production Mismatch

• The endpoint is properly defined in the codebase but fails in the production environment
• The implementation exists in ApiEndpoint.java but appears to have deployment or configuration issues

📝 Additional Context

• This issue was discovered during the implementation of updated Hugo shortcodes (PR #17)
• The legacy endpoint (/api/hacktoberfest-issues) continues to function correctly
• This blocking issue prevents the full migration to the V2 API

🔧 Possible Investigation Points

1. Server logs during endpoint access
2. Configuration differences between development and production
3. Deployment pipeline verification
4. Error handling implementation in ApiEndpoint.java
