REST API endpoints for managing GitHub Enterprise Server

About the Manage GitHub Enterprise Server API

You can manage your GitHub Enterprise Server instance using the Manage GitHub Enterprise Server API. For example, you can retrieve information about the version of the GitHub Enterprise Server software running on the instance, or on instances with multiple nodes, view the status of replication.

Tip

You can use this API to replace the functionality of the Management Console API, which was removed in GitHub Enterprise Server version 3.15. For a mapping between the endpoints, see REST API endpoints for Management Console.

Specify the port number when making API calls to endpoints for the Manage GitHub Enterprise Server API. If your instance uses TLS, the port number is 8443. Otherwise, the port number is 8080. If you cannot provide a port number, you'll need to configure your client to automatically follow redirects. For more information, see Configuring TLS.

You can also use the GitHub Enterprise Server extension of the GitHub CLI to invoke endpoints in the Manage GitHub Enterprise Server API. For more information, see the github/gh-es repository.

Authentication

To authenticate requests to endpoints for the Manage GitHub Enterprise Server API, specify the password for the instance's root site administrator account as an authentication token. Use standard HTTP authentication to send the password. The api_key user identifies the root site administrator. The following example demonstrates authentication for this API. Replace ROOT-SITE-ADMINISTRATOR-PASSWORD with the password, and ADMINISTRATION-PORT with either 8443 or 8080.

curl -L -u "api_key:ROOT-SITE-ADMINISTRATOR-PASSWORD" 'http(s)://HOSTNAME:ADMINISTRATION-PORT/manage'

Authentication as a Management Console user

Management Console user accounts can also authenticate to access these endpoints. For more information, see Managing access to the Management Console.

To authenticate with the password for a Management Console user account, use standard HTTP authentication. In the following example, replace YOUR_USER_NAME and YOUR_PASSWORD with the account's user name and password.

curl -L -u "YOUR_USER_NAME:YOUR_PASSWORD" 'http(s)://HOSTNAME:ADMINISTRATION-PORT/manage'

Query parameters

By default, the response includes information from about all configured nodes for the instance. On an instance with multiple nodes, the details originate from /data/user/common/cluster.conf. You can use the following query parameters to filter the response for information about specific nodes.

Query parameter	Description
`uuid`	Unique identifier for the node.
`cluster_role`	For nodes in a cluster, the roles that apply to the node. For more information, see About cluster nodes.

You can specify multiple values for the query parameter by delimiting the values with a comma. For example, the following request uses curl to return any nodes with the web-server or storage-server role.

curl -L -u "api_key:ROOT-SITE-ADMINISTRATOR-PASSWORD" 'http(s)://HOSTNAME:ADMINISTRATION-PORT/manage/v1/config/nodes?cluster_role=WebServer,StorageServer'
