You can use these GitHub Enterprise Cloud endpoints to administer your enterprise account.
Endpoint URLs
REST API endpoints—except Management Console API endpoints— are prefixed with the following URL:
http(s)://hostname/api/v3/
Management Console API endpoints are only prefixed with a hostname:
http(s)://hostname/
Authentifizierung
Your GitHub Enterprise Server installation's API endpoints accept the same authentication methods as the GitHub.com API. You can authenticate yourself with OAuth tokens (which can be created using the Authorizations API) or basic authentication. OAuth tokens must have the site_admin
OAuth scope when used with Enterprise-specific endpoints.
Enterprise administration API endpoints are only accessible to authenticated GitHub Enterprise Server site administrators, except for the Management Console API, which requires the Management Console password.
Version information
The current version of your enterprise is returned in the response header of every API: X-GitHub-Enterprise-Version: enterprise-server@2.20.0
You can also read the current version by calling the meta endpoint.
Admin stats
The Admin Stats API provides a variety of metrics about your installation. It is only available to authenticated site administrators. Normal users will receive a 404
response if they try to access it.

Global webhooks
Global webhooks are installed on your enterprise. You can use global webhooks to automatically monitor, respond to, or enforce rules for users, organizations, teams, and repositories on your enterprise. Global webhooks can subscribe to the organization, user, repository, team, member, membership, fork, and ping event types.
This API is only available to authenticated site administrators. Normal users will receive a 404
response if they try to access it. To learn how to configure global webhooks, see About global webhooks.

LDAP
You can use the LDAP API to update account relationships between a GitHub Enterprise Server user or team and its linked LDAP entry or queue a new synchronization.
With the LDAP mapping endpoints, you're able to update the Distinguished Name (DN) that a user or team maps to. Note that the LDAP endpoints are generally only effective if your GitHub Enterprise Server appliance has LDAP Sync enabled. The Update LDAP mapping for a user endpoint can be used when LDAP is enabled, even if LDAP Sync is disabled.
Update LDAP mapping for a team
Updates the distinguished name (DN) of the LDAP entry to map to a team. LDAP synchronization must be enabled to map LDAP entries to a team. Use the Create a team endpoint to create a team with LDAP mapping.
You can also update the LDAP mapping of a child team.
patch /admin/ldap/teams/{team_id}/mapping
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
accept |
string | header |
Setting to |
team_id |

Management console
The Management Console API helps you manage your GitHub Enterprise Server installation.
You must explicitly set the port number when making API calls to the Management Console. If TLS is enabled on your enterprise, the port number is 8443
; otherwise, the port number is 8080
.
If you don't want to provide a port number, you'll need to configure your tool to automatically follow redirects.
You may also need to add the -k
flag when using curl
, since GitHub Enterprise Server uses a self-signed certificate before you add your own TLS certificate.
Authentifizierung
You need to pass your Management Console password as an authentication token to every Management Console API endpoint except /setup/api/start
.
Use the api_key
parameter to send this token with each request. Ein Beispiel:
$ curl -L 'https://hostname:admin_port/setup/api?api_key=your-amazing-password'
You can also use standard HTTP authentication to send this token. Ein Beispiel:
$ curl -L 'https://api_key:your-amazing-password@hostname:admin_port/setup/api'
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 |

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 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.

email |
