Uninstalls a GitHub App on a user, organization, or business account. If you prefer to temporarily suspend an app's access to your account's resources, then we recommend the "Suspend an app installation" endpoint.

You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

Create an installation access token for an app

post /app/installations/{installation_id}/access_tokens

Creates an installation access token that enables a GitHub App to make authenticated API requests for the app's installation on an organization or individual account. Installation tokens expire one hour from the time you create them. Using an expired token produces a status code of 401 - Unauthorized, and requires creating a new installation token. By default the installation token has access to all repositories that the installation can access. To restrict the access to specific repositories, you can provide the repository_ids when creating the token. When you omit repository_ids, the response does not contain the repositories key.

You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

repositories

array[string]

List of repository names that the token should have access to

repository_ids

array[int]

List of repository IDs that the token should have access to

Example: [ 1 ]

permissions

Suspend an app installation

put /app/installations/{installation_id}/suspended

Suspends a GitHub App on a user, organization, or business account, which blocks the app from accessing the account's resources. When a GitHub App is suspended, the app's access to the GitHub Enterprise Server API or webhook events is blocked for that account.

You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

installation_id

int

required

The unique identifier of the installation.

Unsuspend an app installation

delete /app/installations/{installation_id}/suspended

Delete an app authorization

delete /applications/{client_id}/grant

OAuth and GitHub application owners can revoke a grant for their application and a specific user. You must use Basic Authentication when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's client_id and client_secret as the username and password. You must also provide a valid OAuth access_token as an input parameter and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted. Deleting an application's grant will also delete all OAuth tokens associated with the application for the user. Once deleted, the application will have no access to the user's account and will no longer be listed on the application authorizations settings screen within GitHub.

access_token

string

required

The OAuth access token used to authenticate to the GitHub API.

Check a token

post /applications/{client_id}/token

OAuth applications and GitHub applications with OAuth authorizations can use this API method for checking OAuth token validity without exceeding the normal rate limits for failed login attempts. Authentication works differently with this particular endpoint. You must use Basic Authentication to use this endpoint, where the username is the application client_id and the password is its client_secret. Invalid tokens will return 404 NOT FOUND.

access_token

required

The access_token of the OAuth or GitHub application.

Get an app

get /apps/{app_slug}

Note: The :app_slug is just the URL-friendly name of your GitHub App. You can find this on the settings page for your GitHub App (e.g., https://github.com/settings/apps/:app_slug).

If the GitHub App you specify is public, you can access this endpoint without authenticating. If the GitHub App you specify is private, you must authenticate with a personal access token or an installation access token to access this endpoint.
