We've recently moved some of the REST API documentation. If you can't find what you're looking for, you might try the new Branches, Collaborators, Commits, Deploy Keys, Deployments, GitHub Pages, Releases, Metrics, Webhooks REST API pages.
Releases
Use the REST API to create, modify, and delete releases and release assets.
Note: These endpoints replace the endpoints to manage downloads. You can retrieve the download count and browser download URL from these endpoints.
List releases
This returns a list of releases, which does not include regular Git tags that have not been associated with a release. To get a list of Git tags, use the Repository Tags API.
Information about published releases are available to everyone. Only users with push access will receive listings for draft releases.
