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 Cloud 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 Cloud.

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.
