Github API: Finding all of the issues closed by a user

How can I find all the issues closed by a particular user. GitHub's issues API doesn't support this as a query.

I can scrape this data, but I'd much prefer to get this through their API.

EDIT: I need all closed issues by a user for all time.

Closed issues manifest themselves as issue events in the GitHub API. To access all events, use this pattern with the GitHub API:

/api.github.com/users/username/events

For example, to see all of my events: https://api.github.com/users/maxlaumeister/events

To get a list of all the issues the user has closed, filter the JSON response and discard all events except those with "type": "IssuesEvent" and "payload": { "action": "closed", ... }.
