REST API endpoints for notifications
Use the REST API to manage GitHub Enterprise Server notifications.
About GitHub Enterprise Server notifications
These endpoints only support authentication using a personal access token (classic). For more information, see "Managing your personal access tokens."
You can use the REST API to manage GitHub Enterprise Server notifications. For more information about notifications, see "About notifications."
All calls to these endpoints require the notifications
or repo
scopes. You will need the repo
scope to access issues and commits from their respective endpoints.
Notifications are returned as "threads". A thread contains information about the current discussion of an issue, pull request, or commit.
Notifications are optimized for polling with the Last-Modified
header. If there are no new notifications, you will see a 304 Not Modified
response, leaving your current rate limit untouched. There is an X-Poll-Interval
header that specifies how often (in seconds) you are allowed to poll. In times of high server load, the time may increase. Please obey the header.
# Add authentication to your requests

About notification reasons
These GET endpoints return a reason
key. These reason
s correspond to events that trigger a notification.
There are a few potential reason
s for receiving a notification.
Reason Name | Description |
---|---|
approval_requested | You were requested to review and approve a deployment. For more information, see "Reviewing deployments." |
assign | You were assigned to the issue. |
author | You created the thread. |
comment | You commented on the thread. |
ci_activity | A GitHub Actions workflow run that you triggered was completed. |
invitation | You accepted an invitation to contribute to the repository. |
manual | You subscribed to the thread (via an issue or pull request). |
member_feature_requested | Organization members have requested to enable a feature such as Draft Pull Requests or Copilot. |
mention | You were specifically @mentioned in the content. |
review_requested | You, or a team you're a member of, were requested to review a pull request. |
security_advisory_credit | You were credited for contributing to a security advisory. |
state_change | You changed the thread state (for example, closing an issue or merging a pull request). |
subscribed | You're watching the repository. |
team_mention | You were on a team that was mentioned. |
Note that the reason
is modified on a per-thread basis, and can change, if the reason
on a later notification is different.
For example, if you are the author of an issue, subsequent notifications on that issue will have a reason
of author
. If you're then @mentioned on the same issue, the notifications you fetch thereafter will have a reason
of mention
. The reason
remains as mention
, regardless of whether you're ever mentioned again.
List notifications for the authenticated user
List all notifications for the current user, sorted by most recently updated.
Fine-grained access tokens for "List notifications for the authenticated user"

Marks all notifications as "read" for the current user. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a 202 Accepted
status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the List notifications for the authenticated user endpoint and pass the query parameter all=false
.

status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the List repository notifications for the authenticated user endpoint and pass the query parameter all=false
.
