List packages for an organization
get /orgs/{org}/packages

Lists packages in an organization readable by the user.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages scope. If the package_type belongs to a registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that only support repository-scoped permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

package_type

string

required

The type of supported package. Packages in GitHub's Gradle registry have the type maven. Docker images pushed to GitHub's Container registry (ghcr.io) have the type container. You can use the type docker to find images that were pushed to GitHub's Docker registry (docker.pkg.github.com), even if these have now been migrated to the Container registry.

Enum
  • npm
  • maven
  • rubygems
  • docker
  • nuget
  • container

visibility

string

The selected visibility of the packages. This parameter is optional and only filters an existing result set.

The internal visibility is only supported for GitHub Packages registries that allow for granular permissions. For other ecosystems internal is synonymous with private. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that support granular permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

List packages for the authenticated user's namespace
get /user/packages

Lists packages owned by the authenticated user within the user's namespace.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages scope. If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that only support repository-scoped permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

package_type

string

required

The type of supported package. Packages in GitHub's Gradle registry have the type maven. Docker images pushed to GitHub's Container registry (ghcr.io) have the type container. You can use the type docker to find images that were pushed to GitHub's Docker registry (docker.pkg.github.com), even if these have now been migrated to the Container registry.

Enum
  • npm
  • maven
  • rubygems
  • docker
  • nuget
  • container

visibility

string

The selected visibility of the packages. This parameter is optional and only filters an existing result set.

The internal visibility is only supported for GitHub Packages registries that allow for granular permissions. For other ecosystems internal is synonymous with private. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that support granular permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

Enum
  • public
  • private
  • internal

page

int

Page number of the results to fetch.

Default

Restore a package for the authenticated user
post /user/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/restore

Restores a package owned by the authenticated user.

You can restore a deleted package under the following conditions:

  • The package was deleted within the last 30 days.
  • The same package namespace and version is still available and not reused for a new package. If the same package namespace is not available, you will not be able to restore your package. In this scenario, to restore the deleted package, you must delete the new package that uses the deleted package's namespace first.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages and write:packages scopes. If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope.

List packages for a user
get /users/{username}/packages

Lists all packages in a user's namespace for which the requesting user has access.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages scope. If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that only support repository-scoped permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

package_type

string

required

The type of supported package. Packages in GitHub's Gradle registry have the type maven. Docker images pushed to GitHub's Container registry (ghcr.io) have the type container. You can use the type docker to find images that were pushed to GitHub's Docker registry (docker.pkg.github.com), even if these have now been migrated to the Container registry.

Enum
  • npm
  • maven
  • rubygems
  • docker
  • nuget
  • container

visibility

string

The selected visibility of the packages. This parameter is optional and only filters an existing result set.

The internal visibility is only supported for GitHub Packages registries that allow for granular permissions. For other ecosystems internal is synonymous with private. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that support granular permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

Enum
  • public
  • private
  • internal

page

int

Page number of the results to fetch.

Default
1

per_page

int

The number of results per page (max 100).

Delete a package for a user
delete /users/{username}/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}

Deletes an entire package for a user. You cannot delete a public package if any version of the package has more than 5,000 downloads. In this scenario, contact GitHub support for further assistance.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages and delete:packages scopes. In addition:

  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that supports granular permissions, you must have admin permissions to the package you want to delete. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

Restore a package for a user
post /users/{username}/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/restore

Restores an entire package for a user.

You can restore a deleted package under the following conditions:

  • The package was deleted within the last 30 days.
  • The same package namespace and version is still available and not reused for a new package. If the same package namespace is not available, you will not be able to restore your package. In this scenario, to restore the deleted package, you must delete the new package that uses the deleted package's namespace first.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages and write:packages scopes. In addition:

  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that supports granular permissions, you must have admin permissions to the package you want to restore. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

post /users/{username}/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/versions/{package_version_id}/restore

Restores a specific package version for a user.

You can restore a deleted package under the following conditions:

  • The package was deleted within the last 30 days.
  • The same package namespace and version is still available and not reused for a new package. If the same package namespace is not available, you will not be able to restore your package. In this scenario, to restore the deleted package, you must delete the new package that uses the deleted package's namespace first.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the read:packages and write:packages scopes. In addition:

  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
  • If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that supports granular permissions, you must have admin permissions to the package whose version you want to restore. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
