Checks

In this article

The Checks API enables you to build GitHub Apps that run powerful checks against code changes in a repository. You can create apps that perform continuous integration, code linting, or code scanning services and provide detailed feedback on commits. For more information, see "Getting started with the checks API" and "Creating CI tests with the Checks API."

Check Runs

Create a check run

Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array.

Creates a new check run for a specific commit in a repository. Your GitHub App must have the checks:write permission to create check runs.

In a check suite, GitHub limits the number of check runs with the same name to 1000. Once these check runs exceed 1000, GitHub will start to automatically delete older check runs.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

This API is under preview and subject to change. See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
name string body

Required. The name of the check. For example, "code-coverage".

head_sha string body

Required. The SHA of the commit.

details_url string body

The URL of the integrator's site that has the full details of the check. If the integrator does not provide this, then the homepage of the GitHub app is used.

external_id string body

A reference for the run on the integrator's system.

status string body

The current status. Can be one of queued, in_progress, or completed.

Default: queued
started_at string body

The time that the check run began. This is a timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ.

conclusion string body

Required if you provide completed_at or a status of completed. The final conclusion of the check. Can be one of success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, or action_required. When the conclusion is action_required, additional details should be provided on the site specified by details_url.
Note: Providing conclusion will automatically set the status parameter to completed. Only GitHub can change a check run conclusion to stale.

completed_at string body

The time the check completed. This is a timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ.

output object body

Check runs can accept a variety of data in the output object, including a title and summary and can optionally provide descriptive details about the run. See the output object description.

Properties of the output object

title (string)

Notes

Preview notice

The Checks API is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the API may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details. To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.antiope-preview+json
☝️ This header is required.

Check Suites

Note: A GitHub App only receives one check_suite event per commit SHA, even if you push the commit SHA to more than one branch. To find out when a commit SHA is pushed to a branch, you can subscribe to branch create events.

Create a check suite

Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array and a null value for head_branch.

By default, check suites are automatically created when you create a check run. You only need to use this endpoint for manually creating check suites when you've disabled automatic creation using "Update repository preferences for check suites". Your GitHub App must have the checks:write permission to create check suites.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

This API is under preview and subject to change. See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
head_sha string body

Required. The sha of the head commit.

Notes

Preview notice

The Checks API is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the API may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details. To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.antiope-preview+json
☝️ This header is required.

Get a check suite

Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array and a null value for head_branch.

Gets a single check suite using its id. GitHub Apps must have the checks:read permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check suites. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the repo scope to get check suites in a private repository.

get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites/{check_suite_id}

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

This API is under preview and subject to change. See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
check_suite_id integer path

Notes

Preview notice

The Checks API is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the API may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details. To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.antiope-preview+json
☝️ This header is required.

Rerequest a check suite

Triggers GitHub to rerequest an existing check suite, without pushing new code to a repository. This endpoint will trigger the check_suite webhook event with the action rerequested. When a check suite is rerequested, its status is reset to queued and the conclusion is cleared.

To rerequest a check suite, your GitHub App must have the checks:read permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites/{check_suite_id}/rerequest

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

This API is under preview and subject to change. See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
check_suite_id integer path

check_suite_id parameter

Code samples

☝️ This header is required.

List check suites for a Git reference

Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array and a null value for head_branch.

Lists check suites for a commit ref. The ref can be a SHA, branch name, or a tag name. GitHub Apps must have the checks:read permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to list check suites. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the repo scope to get check suites in a private repository.

get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{ref}/check-suites

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

This API is under preview and subject to change. See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
ref string path

ref+ parameter

app_id integer query

Filters check suites by GitHub App id.

check_name string query

Returns check runs with the specified name.

per_page integer query

Results per page (max 100)

page integer query

Page number of the results to fetch.
