About GitHub feeds

The Get feeds endpoint lists all the feeds available to the authenticated user. You can then get a feed by sending a request to one of the feed URLs.

By default, timeline resources are returned in JSON. You can specify the application/atom+xml type in the Accept header to return timeline resources in Atom format.

Example request

To get the feed for GitHub security advisories in Atom format:

curl -H "Accept: application/atom+xml" https://github.com/security-advisories

Example response

      severity vulnerability that affects Octoapp</title>
        <category term="NPM"/>
      <content type="html">
        &lt;p&gt;Octoapp node module before 4.17.5 suffers 
        from a Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) 
        vulnerability via defaultsDeep, merge, and mergeWith 
        functions, which allows a malicious user to modify 
        the prototype of &quot;Object&quot; via 
        &lt;strong&gt;proto&lt;/strong&gt;, causing the 
        addition or modification of an existing property 
        that will exist on all objects.&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected Packages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;dl&gt;
      &lt;dt&gt;Octoapp&lt;/dt&gt;
      &lt;dd&gt;Ecosystem: npm&lt;/dd&gt;
      &lt;dd&gt;Severity: moderate&lt;/dd&gt;
      &lt;dd&gt;Versions: &amp;lt; 4.17.5&lt;/dd&gt;
        &lt;dd&gt;Fixed in: 4.17.5&lt;/dd&gt;
