Notifications

The Notifications API lets you manage GitHub Enterprise Server notifications.

About the Notifications API

The Notifications API lets you manage GitHub Enterprise Server notifications. For more information about notifications, see "About notifications."

All Notification API calls require the notifications or repo API scopes. Doing this will give read-only access to some issue and commit content. You will still need the repo scope to access issues and commits from their respective endpoints.

Notifications come back as "threads". A thread contains information about the current discussion of an issue, pull request, or commit.

Notifications are optimized for polling with the Last-Modified header. If there are no new notifications, you will see a 304 Not Modified response, leaving your current rate limit untouched. There is an X-Poll-Interval header that specifies how often (in seconds) you are allowed to poll. In times of high server load, the time may increase. Please obey the header.

# Add authentication to your requests $ curl -I http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3/notifications HTTP/2 200 Last-Modified: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:16:27 GMT X-Poll-Interval: 60 # Pass the Last-Modified header exactly $ curl -I http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3/notifications $ -H "If-Modified-Since: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:16:27 GMT" > HTTP/2 304 > X-Poll-Interval: 60

About notification reasons

When retrieving responses from the Notifications API, each payload has a key titled reason. These correspond to events that trigger a notification.

These are the potential reasons for receiving a notification:

Reason NameDescription
assignYou were assigned to the issue.
authorYou created the thread.
commentYou commented on the thread.
ci_activityA GitHub Actions workflow run that you triggered was completed.
invitationYou accepted an invitation to contribute to the repository.
manualYou subscribed to the thread (via an issue or pull request).
mentionYou were specifically @mentioned in the content.
review_requestedYou, or a team you're a member of, were requested to review a pull request.
state_changeYou changed the thread state (for example, closing an issue or merging a pull request).
subscribedYou're watching the repository.
team_mentionYou were on a team that was mentioned.

Note that the reason is modified on a per-thread basis, and can change, if the reason on a later notification is different.

For example, if you are the author of an issue, subsequent notifications on that issue will have a reason of author. If you're then @mentioned on the same issue, the notifications you fetch thereafter will have a reason of mention. The reason remains as mention, regardless of whether you're ever mentioned again.

Mark notifications as read

Marks all notifications as "read" removes it from the default view on GitHub Enterprise Server. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a 202 Accepted status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the List notifications for the authenticated user endpoint and pass the query parameter all=false.

Parameters

Headers
acceptstring

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

Body parameters
last_read_atstring

Describes the last point that notifications were checked. Anything updated since this time will not be marked as read. If you omit this parameter, all notifications are marked as read. This is a timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ. Default: The current timestamp.

readboolean

Whether the notification has been read.

Get a thread subscription for the authenticated user

This checks to see if the current user is subscribed to a thread. You can also get a repository subscription.

Note that subscriptions are only generated if a user is participating in a conversation--for example, they've replied to the thread, were @mentioned, or manually subscribe to a thread.

Parameters

Set a thread subscription

If you are watching a repository, you receive notifications for all threads by default. Use this endpoint to ignore future notifications for threads until you comment on the thread or get an @mention.

You can also use this endpoint to subscribe to threads that you are currently not receiving notifications for or to subscribed to threads that you have previously ignored.

Unsubscribing from a conversation in a repository that you are not watching is functionally equivalent to the Delete a thread subscription endpoint.

Parameters

Headers
acceptstring

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

Path parameters
thread_idintegerRequired

The unique identifier of the pull request thread.

Body parameters

Delete a thread subscription

Mutes all future notifications for a conversation until you comment on the thread or get an @mention. If you are watching the repository of the thread, you will still receive notifications. To ignore future notifications for a repository you are watching, use the Set a thread subscription endpoint and set ignore to true.

Mark repository notifications as read

Marks all notifications in a repository as "read" removes them from the default view on GitHub Enterprise Server. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a 202 Accepted status and GitHub Enterprise Server will run an asynchronous process to mark notifications as "read." To check whether any "unread" notifications remain, you can use the List repository notifications for the authenticated user endpoint and pass the query parameter all=false.

Parameters

Headers
acceptstring

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

Path parameters
ownerstringRequired

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

repostringRequired

Body parameters
