Check Runs
Use the REST API to manage check runs.
Create a check run
Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests
array.
Creates a new check run for a specific commit in a repository. Your GitHub App must have the checks:write
permission to create check runs.
In a check suite, GitHub limits the number of check runs with the same name to 1000. Once these check runs exceed 1000, GitHub will start to automatically delete older check runs.

Rerequest a check run
Triggers GitHub to rerequest an existing check run, without pushing new code to a repository. This endpoint will trigger the check_run
webhook event with the action rerequested
. When a check run is rerequested
, its status
is reset to queued
and the conclusion
is cleared.
To rerequest a check run, your GitHub App must have the checks:read
permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository.

List check runs for a Git reference
Note: The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests
array.
Lists check runs for a commit ref. The ref
can be a SHA, branch name, or a tag name. GitHub Apps must have the checks:read
permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository to get check runs. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the repo
scope to get check runs in a private repository.
