Checks

Rich interactions with checks run by your integrations.

Create a check run

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs

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.

Each time you update the check run, annotations are appended to the list of annotations that already exist for the check run. GitHub Actions are limited to 10 warning annotations and 10 error annotations per step. For details about how you can view annotations on GitHub, see "About status checks".

Get a check run

get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs/{check_run_id}

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.

Gets a single check run using its id. 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.

owner

string

required

The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.

repo

string

required

The name of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.

check_run_id

Rerequest a check run

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs/{check_run_id}/rerequest

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.

The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.

Create a check suite

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites

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 and a null value for head_branch.

By default, check suites are automatically created when you create a check run. You only need to use this endpoint for manually creating check suites when you've disabled automatic creation using "Update repository preferences for check suites". Your GitHub App must have the checks:write permission to create check suites.

owner

string

required

The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.

repo

string

The name of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
