The Pull Request API allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests. Comments on pull requests can be managed via the Issue Comments API.

Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "shared" actions for both features, like manipulating assignees, labels and milestones, are provided within the Issues API.

Custom media types for pull requests

These are the supported media types for pull requests.

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.diff
application/vnd.github.VERSION.patch

For more information, see "Custom media types."

If a diff is corrupt, contact your site administrator. Include the repository name and pull request ID in your message.

Notes

Works with GitHub Apps

Preview notices

The Draft Pull Request API is currently available for developers to preview. You can use this API to create a draft pull request or see whether a pull request is in draft state. See the blog post preview for more details. To access the new draft parameter during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.shadow-cat-preview+json

You can now use the REST API to add a reason when you lock an issue, and you will see lock reasons in responses that include issues or pull requests. You will also see lock reasons in locked events. This feature is currently available for developers to preview. See the blog post for full details. To access this feature, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.sailor-v-preview+json

Create a pull request

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Server 2.17+, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You can create a new pull request. This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in abuse rate limiting. See "Abuse rate limits" for details.

Notes

Works with GitHub Apps

Preview notices

The Draft Pull Request API is currently available for developers to preview. You can use this API to create a draft pull request or see whether a pull request is in draft state. See the blog post preview for more details. To access the new draft parameter during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.shadow-cat-preview+json

You can now use the REST API to add a reason when you lock an issue, and you will see lock reasons in responses that include issues or pull requests. You will also see lock reasons in locked events. This feature is currently available for developers to preview. See the blog post for full details. To access this feature, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.sailor-v-preview+json

Get a pull request

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

Lists details of a pull request by providing its number.

When you get, create, or edit a pull request, GitHub Enterprise Server creates a merge commit to test whether the pull request can be automatically merged into the base branch. This test commit is not added to the base branch or the head branch. You can review the status of the test commit using the mergeable key. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".

The value of the mergeable attribute can be true, false, or null. If the value is null, then GitHub Enterprise Server has started a background job to compute the mergeability. After giving the job time to complete, resubmit the request. When the job finishes, you will see a non-null value for the mergeable attribute in the response. If mergeable is true, then merge_commit_sha will be the SHA of the test merge commit.

The value of the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on the state of the pull request. Before merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute holds the SHA of the test merge commit. After merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on how you merged the pull request:

If merged as a merge commit, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the merge commit.
If merged via a squash, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the squashed commit on the base branch.
If rebased, merge_commit_sha represents the commit that the base branch was updated to.

Pass the appropriate media type to fetch diff and patch formats.

Notes

Create a review for a pull request

This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in abuse rate limiting. See "Abuse rate limits" and "Dealing with abuse rate limits" for details.

Pull request reviews created in the PENDING state do not include the submitted_at property in the response.

Note: To comment on a specific line in a file, you need to first determine the position of that line in the diff. The GitHub REST API v3 offers the application/vnd.github.v3.diff media type. To see a pull request diff, add this media type to the Accept header of a call to the single pull request endpoint.

The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/reviews

Parameters

Name Type In Description

accept

string

header

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

owner string path

repo string path

pull_number integer path

commit_id

string

body

The SHA of the commit that needs a review. Not using the latest commit SHA may render your review comment outdated if a subsequent commit modifies the line you specify as the position. Defaults to the most recent commit in the pull request when you do not specify a value.

body

string

body

Required when using REQUEST_CHANGES or COMMENT for the event parameter. The body text of the pull request review.

event

string

body

The review action you want to perform. The review actions include: APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT. By leaving this blank, you set the review action state to PENDING, which means you will need to submit the pull request review when you are ready.

comments

array of objects

body

Use the following table to specify the location, destination, and contents of the draft review comment.

Properties of the `comments` items

`path` (string)	Required. The relative path to the file that necessitates a review comment.
`position` (integer)	The position in the diff where you want to add a review comment. Note this value is not the same as the line number in the file. For help finding the position value, read the note below.
`body` (string)	Required. Text of the review comment.
`line` (integer)	undefined
`side` (string)	undefined
`start_line` (integer)	undefined
`start_side` (string)	undefined

Review comments

Pull request review comments are comments on a portion of the unified diff made during a pull request review. Commit comments and issue comments are different from pull request review comments. You apply commit comments directly to a commit and you apply issue comments without referencing a portion of the unified diff. For more information, see "Create a commit comment" and "Create an issue comment."

Custom media types for pull request review comments

These are the supported media types for pull request review comments.

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json

For more information, see "Custom media types."

List review comments in a repository

Note: Multi-line comments on pull requests are currently in public beta and subject to change.

Lists review comments for all pull requests in a repository. By default, review comments are in ascending order by ID.

Multi-line comment summary

Note: New parameters and response fields are available for developers to preview. During the preview period, these response fields may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details.

Use the comfort-fade preview header and the line parameter to show multi-line comment-supported fields in the response.

If you use the comfort-fade preview header, your response will show:

For multi-line comments, values for start_line, original_start_line, start_side, line, original_line, and side.
For single-line comments, values for line, original_line, and side and a null value for start_line, original_start_line, and start_side.

If you don't use the comfort-fade preview header, multi-line and single-line comments will appear the same way in the response with a single position attribute. Your response will show:

For multi-line comments, the last line of the comment range for the position attribute.
For single-line comments, the diff-positioned way of referencing comments for the position attribute. For more information, see position in the input parameters table.

The reactions key will have the following payload where url can be used to construct the API location for listing and creating reactions.

get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/comments

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Description
`accept`	string	header	Setting to `application/vnd.github.v3+json` is recommended. See preview notices
