Revoke an installation access token

Funciona con GitHub Apps

Revokes the installation token you're using to authenticate as an installation and access this endpoint.

Once an installation token is revoked, the token is invalidated and cannot be used. Other endpoints that require the revoked installation token must have a new installation token to work. You can create a new token using the "Create an installation access token for an app" endpoint.

You must use an installation access token to access this endpoint.

Response

Status: 204

List app installations accessible to the user access token

Lists installations of your GitHub App that the authenticated user has explicit permission (:read, :write, or :admin) to access.

You must use a user-to-server OAuth access token, created for a user who has authorized your GitHub App, to access this endpoint.

The authenticated user has explicit permission to access repositories they own, repositories where they are a collaborator, and repositories that they can access through an organization membership.

You can find the permissions for the installation under the permissions key.
