Wir veröffentlichen regelmäßig Aktualisierungen unserer Dokumentation, und die Übersetzung dieser Seite ist möglicherweise noch nicht abgeschlossen. Aktuelle Informationen findest du in der englischsprachigen Dokumentation.
Die REST-API verfügt jetzt über eine Versionskontrolle. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Informationen zur API-Versionsverwaltung.

Gists

Verwende die REST-API, um die öffentlichen Gists auf GitHub aufzulisten, zu erstellen, zu aktualisieren und zu löschen.

Informationen zu Gists

Du kannst die REST-API verwenden, um Gists anzuzeigen und zu ändern. Weitere Informationen zu Gists findest du unter Inhalte mit Gists bearbeiten und freigeben.

Authentifizierung

Du kannst öffentliche Gists anonym erstellen. Aber du musst bei GitHub angemeldet sein, um Gists erstellen zu können. Um Gists im Auftrag eines Benutzers zu lesen oder zu schreiben, benötigst du den OAuth-Bereich für Gist und ein Token. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Bereiche für OAuth-Apps.

Abschneiden

Die API bietet bis zu 1 Megabyte an Inhalten für jede Datei im Gist. Jede Datei, die für ein Gist über die API zurückgegeben wird, hat einen Schlüssel namens truncated. Wenn truncated gleich true ist, ist die Datei zu groß, sodass nur ein Teil des Inhalts in content zurückgegeben wurde.

Wenn du den gesamten Inhalt der Datei benötigst, kannst du die Anforderung GET an die durch raw_url angegebene URL stellen. Beachte, dass du bei Dateien mit einer Größe von mehr als 10 Megabyte das Gist über die von git_pull_url angegebene URL klonen musst.

Außerdem wird nicht nur der Inhalt einer bestimmten Datei abgeschnitten, sondern die gesamte Dateiliste, wenn die Gesamtanzahl 300 Dateien überschreitet. Wenn der Schlüssel auf oberster Ebene truncated gleich true ist, werden nur die ersten 300 Dateien in der Dateiliste angezeigt. Wenn du alle Dateien des Gists abrufen möchtest, musst du das Gist über die von git_pull_url angegebene URL klonen.

Benutzerdefinierte Medientypen für Gists

Dies sind die unterstützten Medientypen zum Abrufen von Gist-Inhalten.

application/vnd.github.raw
application/vnd.github.base64

Weitere Informationen findest du unter Medientypen.
