Preview notices

New features in the Deployments API on GitHub are currently available during a public beta. Please see the blog post for full details.

To access the new environment parameter, the two new values for the state parameter (in_progress and queued), and use auto_inactive on production deployments during the public beta period, you must provide the following custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.flash-preview+json

The inactive state and the log_url, environment_url, and auto_inactive parameters are currently available for developers to preview. 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.ant-man-preview+json

Create a deployment status

Works with GitHub Apps

Users with push access can create deployment statuses for a given deployment.

GitHub Apps require read & write access to "Deployments" and read-only access to "Repo contents" (for private repos). OAuth Apps require the repo_deployment scope.

Parameters

Headers
Name, Type, Description
`accept`string Setting to `application/vnd.github.v3+json` is recommended. See preview notices
Path parameters
Name, Type, Description
`owner`stringRequired The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
`repo`stringRequired The name of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
`deployment_id`integerRequired deployment_id parameter
Body parameters
Name, Type, Description
`state`stringRequired The state of the status. Note: To use the `inactive` state, you must provide the `application/vnd.github.ant-man-preview+json` custom media type. When you set a transient deployment to `inactive`, the deployment will be shown as `destroyed` in GitHub. Can be one of: `error`, `failure`, `inactive`, `in_progress`, `queued`, `pending`, `success`
`target_url`string The target URL to associate with this status. This URL should contain output to keep the user updated while the task is running or serve as historical information for what happened in the deployment. Note: It's recommended to use the `log_url` parameter, which replaces `target_url`. Default:
`log_url`string The full URL of the deployment's output. This parameter replaces `target_url`. We will continue to accept `target_url` to support legacy uses, but we recommend replacing `target_url` with `log_url`. Setting `log_url` will automatically set `target_url` to the same value. Default: `""` Note: This parameter requires you to use the `application/vnd.github.ant-man-preview+json` custom media type. Default:
`description`string A short description of the status. The maximum description length is 140 characters. Default:
`environment`string Name for the target deployment environment, which can be changed when setting a deploy status. For example, `production`, `staging`, or `qa`. Can be one of: `production`, `staging`, `qa`
`environment_url`string Sets the URL for accessing your environment. Default: `""` Note: This parameter requires you to use the `application/vnd.github.ant-man-preview+json` custom media type. Default:
`auto_inactive`boolean Adds a new `inactive` status to all prior non-transient, non-production environment deployments with the same repository and `environment` name as the created status's deployment. An `inactive` status is only added to deployments that had a `success` state. Default: `true` Note: This parameter requires you to use the `application/vnd.github.ant-man-preview+json` custom media type.
