GitHub v3 REST API

List public events We delay the public events feed by five minutes, which means the most recent event returned by the public events API actually occurred at least five minutes ago.

List public events for a network of repositories

List public events for a user

List public organization events

List events received by the authenticated user These are events that you've received by watching repos and following users. If you are authenticated as the given user, you will see private events. Otherwise, you'll only see public events.

List public events received by a user

List repository events **Note**: This API is not built to serve real-time use cases. Depending on the time of day, event latency can be anywhere from 30s to 6h.

List repository notifications for the authenticated user Lists all notifications for the current user in the specified repository.

List repositories starred by the authenticated user Lists repositories the authenticated user has starred. You can also find out _when_ stars were created by passing the following custom [media type](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/media-types/) via the `Accept` header: `application/vnd.github.star+json`.

List repositories starred by a user Lists repositories a user has starred. You can also find out _when_ stars were created by passing the following custom [media type](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/media-types/) via the `Accept` header: `application/vnd.github.star+json`.

List repositories watched by a user Lists repositories a user is watching.

List stargazers Lists the people that have starred the repository. You can also find out _when_ stars were created by passing the following custom [media type](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/media-types/) via the `Accept` header: `application/vnd.github.star+json`.

List repositories watched by the authenticated user Lists repositories the authenticated user is watching.

List watchers Lists the people watching the specified repository.

Mark notifications as read Marks all notifications as "read" for the current user. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a `202 Accepted` status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the [List notifications for the authenticated user](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/activity#list-notifications-for-the-authenticated-user) endpoint and pass the query parameter `all=false`.

Mark repository notifications as read Marks all notifications in a repository as "read" for the current user. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a `202 Accepted` status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the [List repository notifications for the authenticated user](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/activity#list-repository-notifications-for-the-authenticated-user) endpoint and pass the query parameter `all=false`.

Mark a thread as read Marks a thread as "read." Marking a thread as "read" is equivalent to clicking a notification in your notification inbox on GitHub Enterprise Server: https://github.com/notifications.

Set a repository subscription If you would like to watch a repository, set `subscribed` to `true`. If you would like to ignore notifications made within a repository, set `ignored` to `true`. If you would like to stop watching a repository, [delete the repository's subscription](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/activity#delete-a-repository-subscription) completely.

Set a thread subscription If you are watching a repository, you receive notifications for all threads by default. Use this endpoint to ignore future notifications for threads until you comment on the thread or get an **@mention**. You can also use this endpoint to subscribe to threads that you are currently not receiving notifications for or to subscribed to threads that you have previously ignored. Unsubscribing from a conversation in a repository that you are not watching is functionally equivalent to the [Delete a thread subscription](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/activity#delete-a-thread-subscription) endpoint.

Star a repository for the authenticated user Note that you'll need to set `Content-Length` to zero when calling out to this endpoint. For more information, see "[HTTP verbs](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#http-verbs)."

Unstar a repository for the authenticated user Unstar a repository that the authenticated user has previously starred.

Add a repository to an app installation Add a single repository to 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.

Check a token OAuth applications and GitHub applications with OAuth authorizations can use this API method for checking OAuth token validity without exceeding the normal rate limits for failed login attempts. Authentication works differently with this particular endpoint. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) to use this endpoint, where the username is the application `client_id` and the password is its `client_secret`. Invalid tokens will return `404 NOT FOUND`.

Create a GitHub App from a manifest Use this endpoint to complete the handshake necessary when implementing the [GitHub App Manifest flow](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/creating-github-apps-from-a-manifest/). When you create a GitHub App with the manifest flow, you receive a temporary `code` used to retrieve the GitHub App's `id`, `pem` (private key), and `webhook_secret`.

Create an installation access token for an app Creates an installation access token that enables a GitHub App to make authenticated API requests for the app's installation on an organization or individual account. Installation tokens expire one hour from the time you create them. Using an expired token produces a status code of `401 - Unauthorized`, and requires creating a new installation token. By default the installation token has access to all repositories that the installation can access. To restrict the access to specific repositories, you can provide the `repository_ids` when creating the token. When you omit `repository_ids`, the response does not contain the `repositories` key. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Delete an app authorization OAuth and GitHub application owners can revoke a grant for their 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 OAuth `access_token` as an input parameter and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted. Deleting an 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 application authorizations settings screen within GitHub](https://github.com/settings/applications#authorized).

Delete an installation for the authenticated app Uninstalls a GitHub App on a user, organization, or business account. If you prefer to temporarily suspend an app's access to your account's resources, then we recommend the "[Suspend an app installation](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/apps/#suspend-an-app-installation)" endpoint. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Delete an app token OAuth or GitHub application owners can revoke a single token for an OAuth application or a GitHub application with an OAuth authorization. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) when accessing this endpoint, using the application's `client_id` and `client_secret` as the username and password.

Get the authenticated app Returns the GitHub App associated with the authentication credentials used. To see how many app installations are associated with this GitHub App, see the `installations_count` in the response. For more details about your app's installations, see the "[List installations for the authenticated app](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/reference/apps#list-installations-for-the-authenticated-app)" endpoint. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Get an app **Note**: The `:app_slug` is just the URL-friendly name of your GitHub App. You can find this on the settings page for your GitHub App (e.g., `https://github.com/settings/apps/:app_slug`). If the GitHub App you specify is public, you can access this endpoint without authenticating. If the GitHub App you specify is private, you must authenticate with a [personal access token](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/) or 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.

Get an installation for the authenticated app Enables an authenticated GitHub App to find an installation's information using the installation id.

List repositories accessible to the user access token List repositories that the authenticated user has explicit permission (`:read`, `:write`, or `:admin`) to access for an installation. The authenticated user has explicit permission to access repositories they own, repositories where they are a collaborator, and repositories that they can access through an organization membership. You must use a [user access token](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/generating-a-user-access-token-for-a-github-app), created for a user who has authorized your GitHub App, to access this endpoint. The access the user has to each repository is included in the hash under the `permissions` key.

List deliveries for an app webhook Returns a list of webhook deliveries for the webhook configured for a GitHub App. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Redeliver a delivery for an app webhook Redeliver a delivery for the webhook configured for a GitHub App. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

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 a token OAuth applications and GitHub applications with OAuth authorizations 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 application's `client_id` and `client_secret` as the username and password. Invalid tokens will return `404 NOT FOUND`.

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 scoped access token Use a non-scoped user access token to create a repository scoped and/or permission scoped user access token. You can specify which repositories the token can access and which permissions are granted to the token. You must use [Basic Authentication](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#basic-authentication) when accessing this endpoint, using the `client_id` and `client_secret` of the GitHub App as the username and password. Invalid tokens will return `404 NOT FOUND`.

Suspend an app installation Suspends a GitHub App on a user, organization, or business account, which blocks the app from accessing the account's resources. When a GitHub App is suspended, the app's access to the GitHub Enterprise Server API or webhook events is blocked for that account. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Unsuspend an app installation Removes a GitHub App installation suspension. You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.

Update a webhook configuration for an app Updates the webhook configuration for a GitHub App. For more information about configuring a webhook for your app, see "[Creating a GitHub App](/developers/apps/creating-a-github-app)." You must use a [JWT](https://docs.github.com/[email protected]/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/#authenticating-as-a-github-app) to access this endpoint.
