REST API endpoints for feeds
Use the REST API to interact with GitHub feeds.
Get feeds
Lists the feeds available to the authenticated user. The response provides a URL for each feed. You can then get a specific feed by sending a request to one of the feed URLs.
- Timeline: The GitHub Enterprise Server global public timeline
- User: The public timeline for any user, using
uri_template
. For more information, see "Hypermedia." - Current user public: The public timeline for the authenticated user
- Current user: The private timeline for the authenticated user
- Current user actor: The private timeline for activity created by the authenticated user
- Current user organizations: The private timeline for the organizations the authenticated user is a member of.
- Security advisories: A collection of public announcements that provide information about security-related vulnerabilities in software on GitHub Enterprise Server.
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. For more information, see "Media types."
Note
Private feeds are only returned when authenticating via Basic Auth since current feed URIs use the older, non revocable auth tokens.
