Get feeds
get /feeds

GitHub Enterprise Server provides several timeline resources in Atom format. The Feeds API lists all the feeds available to the authenticated user:

  • Timeline: The GitHub Enterprise Server global public timeline
  • User: The public timeline for any user, using URI template
  • Current user public: The public timeline for the authenticated user
  • Current user: The private timeline for the authenticated user
  • Current user actor: The private timeline for activity created by the authenticated user
  • Current user organizations: The private timeline for the organizations the authenticated user is a member of.
  • Security advisories: A collection of public announcements that provide information about security-related vulnerabilities in software on GitHub Enterprise Server.

Note: Private feeds are only returned when authenticating via Basic Auth since current feed URIs use the older, non revocable auth tokens.
