GitHub v3 REST API

Remove a repository from an app installation Remove a single repository from an installation. The authenticated user must have admin access to the repository. You must use a personal access token (which you can create via the [command line](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) or [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication)) to access this endpoint.

Reset an authorization **Deprecation Notice:** GitHub Enterprise Server will discontinue OAuth endpoints that contain `access_token` in the path parameter. We have introduced new endpoints that allow you to securely manage tokens for OAuth Apps by moving `access_token` to the request body. For more information, see the [blog post](https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-oauth-app-endpoint/). OAuth applications can use this API method to reset a valid OAuth token without end-user involvement. Applications must save the "token" property in the response because changes take effect immediately. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's `client_id` and `client_secret` as the username and password. Invalid tokens will return `404 NOT FOUND`.

Revoke an authorization for an application **Deprecation Notice:** GitHub Enterprise Server will discontinue OAuth endpoints that contain `access_token` in the path parameter. We have introduced new endpoints that allow you to securely manage tokens for OAuth Apps by moving `access_token` to the request body. For more information, see the [blog post](https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-oauth-app-endpoint/). OAuth application owners can revoke a single token for an OAuth application. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's `client_id` and `client_secret` as the username and password.

Revoke a grant for an application **Deprecation Notice:** GitHub Enterprise Server will discontinue OAuth endpoints that contain `access_token` in the path parameter. We have introduced new endpoints that allow you to securely manage tokens for OAuth Apps by moving `access_token` to the request body. For more information, see the [blog post](https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-oauth-app-endpoint/). OAuth application owners can revoke a grant for their OAuth application and a specific user. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's `client_id` and `client_secret` as the username and password. You must also provide a valid token as `:access_token` and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted. Deleting an OAuth application's grant will also delete all OAuth tokens associated with the application for the user. Once deleted, the application will have no access to the user's account and will no longer be listed on [the Applications settings page under "Authorized OAuth Apps" on GitHub Enterprise Server](https://github.com/settings/applications#authorized).

Revoke an installation access token Revokes the installation token you're using to authenticate as an installation and access this endpoint. Once an installation token is revoked, the token is invalidated and cannot be used. Other endpoints that require the revoked installation token must have a new installation token to work. You can create a new token using the "[Create an installation access token for an app](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/apps#create-an-installation-access-token-for-an-app)" endpoint. You must use an [installation access token](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-an-installation) to access this endpoint.

Create a check run **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array. Creates a new check run for a specific commit in a repository. Your GitHub App must have the `checks:write` permission to create check runs. In a check suite, GitHub limits the number of check runs with the same name to 1000. Once these check runs exceed 1000, GitHub will start to automatically delete older check runs.

Create a check suite **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array and a `null` value for `head_branch`. By default, check suites are automatically created when you create a [check run](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/checks#check-runs). You only need to use this endpoint for manually creating check suites when you've disabled automatic creation using "[Update repository preferences for check suites](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/checks#update-repository-preferences-for-check-suites)". Your GitHub App must have the `checks:write` permission to create check suites.

Get a check run **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array. Gets a single check run using its `id`. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check runs. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get check runs in a private repository.

Get a check suite **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array and a `null` value for `head_branch`. Gets a single check suite using its `id`. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check suites. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get check suites in a private repository.

List check run annotations Lists annotations for a check run using the annotation `id`. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get annotations for a check run. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get annotations for a check run in a private repository.

List check runs for a Git reference **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array. Lists check runs for a commit ref. The `ref` can be a SHA, branch name, or a tag name. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check runs. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get check runs in a private repository.

List check runs in a check suite **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array. Lists check runs for a check suite using its `id`. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check runs. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get check runs in a private repository.

List check suites for a Git reference **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array and a `null` value for `head_branch`. Lists check suites for a commit `ref`. The `ref` can be a SHA, branch name, or a tag name. GitHub Apps must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to list check suites. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the `repo` scope to get check suites in a private repository.

Rerequest a check suite Triggers GitHub to rerequest an existing check suite, without pushing new code to a repository. This endpoint will trigger the [`check_suite` webhook](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/webhooks/event-payloads/#check_suite) event with the action `rerequested`. When a check suite is `rerequested`, its `status` is reset to `queued` and the `conclusion` is cleared. To rerequest a check suite, your GitHub App must have the `checks:read` permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository.

Update repository preferences for check suites Changes the default automatic flow when creating check suites. By default, a check suite is automatically created each time code is pushed to a repository. When you disable the automatic creation of check suites, you can manually [Create a check suite](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/checks#create-a-check-suite). You must have admin permissions in the repository to set preferences for check suites.

Update a check run **Note:** The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array. Updates a check run for a specific commit in a repository. Your GitHub App must have the `checks:write` permission to edit check runs.

Add an authorized SSH key **Note:** The request body for this operation must be submitted as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` data. You can submit a parameter value as a string, or you can use a tool such as `curl` to submit a parameter value as the contents of a text file. For more information, see the [`curl` documentation](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--data-urlencode).

Create a GitHub license When you boot a GitHub instance for the first time, you can use the following endpoint to upload a license. Note that you need to `POST` to [`/setup/api/configure`](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/enterprise-admin#start-a-configuration-process) to start the actual configuration process. When using this endpoint, your GitHub instance must have a password set. This can be accomplished two ways: 1. If you're working directly with the API before accessing the web interface, you must pass in the password parameter to set your password. 2. If you set up your instance via the web interface before accessing the API, your calls to this endpoint do not need the password parameter. **Note:** The request body for this operation must be submitted as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` data. You can submit a parameter value as a string, or you can use a tool such as `curl` to submit a parameter value as the contents of a text file. For more information, see the [`curl` documentation](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--data-urlencode).

Create a user If an external authentication mechanism is used, the login name should match the login name in the external system. If you are using LDAP authentication, you should also [update the LDAP mapping](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/enterprise-admin#update-ldap-mapping-for-a-user) for the user. The login name will be normalized to only contain alphanumeric characters or single hyphens. For example, if you send `"octo_cat"` as the login, a user named `"octo-cat"` will be created. If the login name or email address is already associated with an account, the server will return a `422` response.

Delete a global webhook

Delete an impersonation OAuth token

Delete a personal access token Deletes a personal access token. Returns a `403 - Forbidden` status when a personal access token is in use. For example, if you access this endpoint with the same personal access token that you are trying to delete, you will receive this error.

Delete a pre-receive environment If you attempt to delete an environment that cannot be deleted, you will receive a `422 Unprocessable Entity` response. The possible error messages are: * _Cannot modify or delete the default environment_ * _Cannot delete environment that has hooks_ * _Cannot delete environment when download is in progress_

Delete a pre-receive hook

Delete a public key

Delete a user Deleting a user will delete all their repositories, gists, applications, and personal settings. [Suspending a user](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/enterprise-admin#suspend-a-user) is often a better option. You can delete any user account except your own.

Demote a site administrator You can demote any user account except your own.

Enable or disable maintenance mode **Note:** The request body for this operation must be submitted as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` data. You can submit a parameter value as a string, or you can use a tool such as `curl` to submit a parameter value as the contents of a text file. For more information, see the [`curl` documentation](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--data-urlencode).

Get the configuration status This endpoint allows you to check the status of the most recent configuration process: Note that you may need to wait several seconds after you start a process before you can check its status. The different statuses are: | Status | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------- | | `PENDING` | The job has not started yet | | `CONFIGURING` | The job is running | | `DONE` | The job has finished correctly | | `FAILED` | The job has finished unexpectedly |

Get the download status for a pre-receive environment In addition to seeing the download status at the "[Get a pre-receive environment](#get-a-pre-receive-environment)" endpoint, there is also this separate endpoint for just the download status.
