Here, what I did to find out all .js file in my own repository.

curl -i "https://api.github./search/code?q=extension:js+repo:vnation/NewsAggregator"

source: https://developer.github./v3/search/#search-code

EDIT

This is what I did to find out the path of ".classpath" file in the master branch of my repo.

curl -i "https://api.github./repos/vnation/NewsAggregator/contents/.classpath"

SOURCE: https://developer.github./v3/repos/contents/#get-contents

However, git response above API with base64 encoded content. So, to get raw data you should use below one.

curl -i "https://raw.githubusercontent./vnation/NewsAggregator/master/.classpath"
