リポジトリコンテンツ
この REST API を使い、リポジトリ内の Base64 でエンコードされたコンテンツを作成、変更、削除します。
リポジトリのコンテンツについて
Raw 形式またはレンダリングされた HTML (サポートされている場合) をリクエストするには、リポジトリのコンテンツにカスタムメディアタイプを使用します。
リポジトリコンテンツのカスタムメディアタイプ
README、ファイル、およびシンボリック リンクでは、次のカスタム メディアの種類がサポートされています。
application/vnd.github.raw
application/vnd.github.html
ファイルのコンテンツを取得するには、.raw
メディア タイプを使ってください。
Markdown や AsciiDoc などのマークアップファイルでは、レンダリングされた HTML を .html
メディア タイプを使用して取得できます。 マークアップ言語は、オープンソースのマークアップ ライブラリを使用して HTML にレンダリングされます。
すべてのオブジェクトでは、次のカスタム メディアの種類がサポートされます。
application/vnd.github.object
コンテンツのタイプに関係なく、一貫したオブジェクト フォーマットを取得するには、object
メディア タイプ パラメーターを使用します。 たとえば、レスポンスはディレクトリに対するオブジェクトの配列ではなく、オブジェクトの配列を含む entries
属性のオブジェクトになります。
API でのメディア タイプの使用に関する詳細については、こちらをお読みください。
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.

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

You must provide values for both name
and email
, whether you choose to use author
or committer
. Otherwise, you'll receive a 422

main

the Location
header to make a second GET
