Apps

The GitHub Apps API enables you to retrieve the information about the installation as well as specific information about GitHub Apps.

In this article

If you are using your app with GitHub Actions and want to modify workflow files, you must authenticate on behalf of the user with an OAuth token that includes the workflow scope. The user must have admin or write permission to the repository that contains the workflow file. For more information, see "Understanding scopes for OAuth apps."

This page lists endpoints that you can access while authenticated as a GitHub App. See "Authenticating as a GitHub App" to learn more.

When authenticated as a GitHub App, the GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of an app.

You can access REST API v3 endpoints while authenticated as a GitHub App. These endpoints have a "Notes" section that contains a bullet point that says "Works with GitHub Apps." You can also access these endpoints while authenticated as a user.

A subset of REST API v3 endpoints requires authenticating as a GitHub App installation. See Installations for a list of these endpoints.

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" endpoint.

You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

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 to access this endpoint.

Notes

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" endpoint.

You must use an installation access token to access this endpoint.

Notes

List app installations accessible to the user access token

Lists installations of your GitHub App that the authenticated user has explicit permission (:read, :write, or :admin) to access.

You must use a user-to-server OAuth access token, created for a user who has authorized your GitHub App, to access this endpoint.

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 can find the permissions for the installation under the permissions key.

Marketplace

For more information about GitHub Marketplace, see "GitHub Marketplace."

The GitHub Marketplace API allows you to see which customers are using a pricing plan, see a customer's purchases, and see if an account has an active subscription.

Testing with stubbed endpoints

This API includes endpoints that allow you to test your GitHub App with stubbed data. Stubbed data is hard-coded, fake data that will not change based on actual subscriptions.

To test with stubbed data, use a stubbed endpoint in place of its production counterpart. This allows you to test whether API logic succeeds before listing GitHub Apps on GitHub Marketplace.

Be sure to replace stubbed endpoints with production endpoints before deploying your GitHub App.

Get a subscription plan for an account

Shows whether the user or organization account actively subscribes to a plan listed by the authenticated GitHub App. When someone submits a plan change that won't be processed until the end of their billing cycle, you will also see the upcoming pending change.

GitHub Apps must use a JWT to access this endpoint. OAuth Apps must use basic authentication with their client ID and client secret to access this endpoint.

get /marketplace_listing/accounts/{account_id}

Parameters

NameTypeInDescription

Setting toapplication/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

Requires authentication

OAuth Applications API

You can use this API to manage the OAuth tokens an OAuth application uses to access people's accounts on GitHub.com.

Delete an app authorization

OAuth application owners can revoke a grant for their OAuth application and a specific user. You must use 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 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 application authorizations settings screen within GitHub.

delete /applications/{client_id}/grant

Parameters

NameTypeInDescription
acceptstringheader

Setting toapplication/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

client_idstringpath

The client ID of your GitHub app.

access_tokenstringbody

Required. The OAuth access token used to authenticate to the GitHub API.

Webhooks

A GitHub App's webhook allows you to receive HTTP POST payloads whenever certain events happen for an app. The webhook REST APIs enable you to manage repository, organization, and app webhooks. You can use this API to list webhook deliveries for a webhook, or get and redeliver an individual delivery for a webhook, which can be integrated into an external app or service. You can also use the REST API to change the configuration of the webhook. For example, you can modify the payload URL, content type, SSL verification, and secret. For more information, see:
