Contenidos del repositorio
La API de REST permite crear, modificar y eliminar contenido codificado en Base64 en un repositorio.
Acerca del contenido del repositorio
Para solicitar el formato sin procesar y interpretado en HTML (cuando sea posible), utiliza los tipos de medios personalizados para el contenido de un repositorio.
Tipos de medios personalizados para el contenido de un repositorio
Los archivos Léame, los archivos y los vínculos simbólicos admiten los siguientes tipos de medios personalizados:
application/vnd.github.raw
application/vnd.github.html
Use el tipo de medios .raw
para recuperar el contenido del archivo.
Para archivos de marcado como Markdown o AsciiDoc, puede recuperar el código HTML representado si usa el tipo de medios .html
. Los lenguajes de marcado se representan en HTML mediante nuestra biblioteca de marcado de código abierto.
Todos los objetos admiten el siguiente tipo de medio personalizado:
application/vnd.github.object
Use el parámetro de tipo de medios object
para recuperar el contenido en un formato de objeto consistente con independencia del tipo de contenido. Por ejemplo, en vez de una matriz de objetos para un directorio, la respuesta será un objeto con un atributo entries
que contenga la matriz de objetos.
Para obtener más información sobre el uso de tipos de multimedia, consulte “Tipos de medios”.
Get repository content
Gets the contents of a file or directory in a repository. Specify the file path or directory in :path
. If you omit
:path
, you will receive the contents of the repository's root directory. See the description below regarding what the API response includes for directories.
Files and symlinks support a custom media type for retrieving the raw content or rendered HTML (when supported). All content types support a custom media type to ensure the content is returned in a consistent object format.
Notes:
- To get a repository's contents recursively, you can recursively get the tree.
- This API has an upper limit of 1,000 files for a directory. If you need to retrieve more files, use the Git Trees API.
- Download URLs expire and are meant to be used just once. To ensure the download URL does not expire, please use the contents API to obtain a fresh download URL for each download. Size limits: If the requested file's size is:
- 1 MB or smaller: All features of this endpoint are supported.
- Between 1-100 MB: Only the
raw
orobject
custom media types are supported. Both will work as normal, except that when using theobject
media type, thecontent
field will be an empty string and theencoding
field will be"none"
. To get the contents of these larger files, use theraw
media type. - Greater than 100 MB: This endpoint is not supported.
If the content is a directory: The response will be an array of objects, one object for each item in the directory. When listing the contents of a directory, submodules have their "type" specified as "file". Logically, the value should be "submodule". This behavior exists in API v3 for backwards compatibility purposes. In the next major version of the API, the type will be returned as "submodule".
If the content is a symlink:
If the requested :path
points to a symlink, and the symlink's target is a normal file in the repository, then the
API responds with the content of the file (in the format shown in the example. Otherwise, the API responds with an object
describing the symlink itself.
If the content is a submodule:
The submodule_git_url
identifies the location of the submodule repository, and the sha
identifies a specific
commit within the submodule repository. Git uses the given URL when cloning the submodule repository, and checks out
the submodule at that specific commit.
If the submodule repository is not hosted on github.com, the Git URLs (git_url
and _links["git"]
) and the
github.com URLs (html_url
and _links["html"]
) will have null values.

Create or update file contents
Creates a new file or replaces an existing file in a repository. You must authenticate using an access token with the repo
scope to use this endpoint. If you want to modify files in the .github/workflows
directory, you must authenticate using an access token with the workflow
scope.
Note: If you use this endpoint and the "Delete a file" endpoint in parallel, the concurrent requests will conflict and you will receive errors. You must use these endpoints serially instead.

Delete a file
Deletes a file in a repository.
You can provide an additional committer
parameter, which is an object containing information about the committer. Or, you can provide an author
parameter, which is an object containing information about the author.
The author
section is optional and is filled in with the committer
information if omitted. If the committer
information is omitted, the authenticated user's information is used.
You must provide values for both name
and email
, whether you choose to use author
or committer
. Otherwise, you'll receive a 422
status code.
Note: If you use this endpoint and the "Create or update file contents" endpoint in parallel, the concurrent requests will conflict and you will receive errors. You must use these endpoints serially instead.

main

the Location
header to make a second GET
request.
Note: For private repositories, these links are temporary and expire after five minutes.
