The GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of the app. To learn more about GitHub Apps, see "Authenticating as a GitHub App."
This page lists endpoints that you can access while authenticated as a GitHub App. See "Authenticating as a GitHub App" to learn more.
When authenticated as a GitHub App, the GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of an app.
You can access REST API v3 endpoints while authenticated as a GitHub App. These endpoints have a "Notes" section that contains a bullet point that says "Works with GitHub Apps." You can also access these endpoints while authenticated as a user.
A subset of REST API v3 endpoints requires authenticating as a GitHub App installation. See Installations for a list of these endpoints.
Get the authenticated app
Returns the GitHub App associated with the authentication credentials used. To see how many app installations are associated with this GitHub App, see the installations_count
in the response. For more details about your app's installations, see the "List installations for the authenticated app" endpoint.
You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

Create an installation access token for an app
Creates an installation access token that enables a GitHub App to make authenticated API requests for the app's installation on an organization or individual account. Installation tokens expire one hour from the time you create them. Using an expired token produces a status code of 401 - Unauthorized
, and requires creating a new installation token. By default the installation token has access to all repositories that the installation can access. To restrict the access to specific repositories, you can provide the repository_ids
when creating the token. When you omit repository_ids
, the response does not contain the repositories
key.
You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.
