Is there a workaround to get the list of organizations on GitHub?

For example: https://github.com/showcases/open-source-organizations

How can we do that via the GitHub API or GitHub search?

You can get a list of all accounts:

https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-all-users

The type parameter will tell you if it's a user or organization.

An alternative is to use the search API:

https://developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-users

You can specify type:org to get organizations only:

https://api.github.com/search/users?q=type:org
