Events

The Events API is a read-only API to the GitHub events. These events power the various activity streams on the site.

The Events API can return different types of events triggered by activity on GitHub. For more information about the specific events that you can receive from the Events API, see "GitHub Event types." An events API for repository issues is also available. For more information, see the "Issue Events API."

Events are optimized for polling with the "ETag" header. If no new events have been triggered, you will see a "304 Not Modified" response, and your current rate limit will be untouched. There is also 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.

$ curl -I https://api.github.com/users/tater/events
> HTTP/2 200
> X-Poll-Interval: 60
> ETag: "a18c3bded88eb5dbb5c849a489412bf3"

# The quotes around the ETag value are important
$ curl -I https://api.github.com/users/tater/events \
$    -H 'If-None-Match: "a18c3bded88eb5dbb5c849a489412bf3"'
> HTTP/2 304
> X-Poll-Interval: 60

Only events created within the past 90 days will be included in timelines. Events older than 90 days will not be included (even if the total number of events in the timeline is less than 300).

List public events

We delay the public events feed by five minutes, which means the most recent event returned by the public events API actually occurred at least five minutes ago.

Example of getting an Atom feed

To get a feed in Atom format, you must specify the application/atom+xml type in the Accept header. For example, to get the Atom feed for GitHub security advisories:

Get feeds

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

Timeline: The GitHub 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.

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

Notificaciones

Los usuarios reciben notificaciones para las conversaciones en los repositorios que observan, incluyendo:

Las de los informes de problemas y sus comentarios
Las de las solicitudes de extracción en sus comentarios
Las de los comentarios en cualquier confirmación

También se envían notificaciones para las conversaciones en los repositorios sin observar cuando el usuario está involucrado, incluyendo:

@menciones
Asignaciones de informes de problemas
Confirmaciones que confirme o cree el usuario
Cualquier debate en el que el usuario participe activamente

Todas las llamadas de la API para notificaciones necesitan los alcances de la API para notifications o repo. El hacerlo te dará acceso de solo lectura a algunos contenidos de informes de problemas y de confirmaciones. Aún necesitarás el alcance de repo para acceder a los informes de problemas y a las confirmaciones desde sus respectivas terminales.

Las notificaciones se devuelven como "hilos". Un hilo contiene información acerca del debate actual sobre un informe de problemas, solicitud de extracción o confirmación.

Las notificaciones se optimizan para el sondeo con el encabezado Last-Modified. Si no hay notificaciones nuevas, verás una respuesta 304 Not Modified, la cual dejará tu límite de tasa intacto. Hay un encabezado de X-Poll-Interval que especifica la frecuencia (en segundos) en la que se te permite hacer sondeos. Este tiempo podría incrementarse durante los periodos de carga fuerte en el servidor. Por favor obedece al encabezado.

# Add authentication to your requests
$ curl -I https://api.github.com/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 https://api.github.com/notifications
$    -H "If-Modified-Since: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:16:27 GMT"
> HTTP/2 304
> X-Poll-Interval: 60

Razones para obtener las notificaciones

Cuando recuperas respuestas de la API de Notificaciones, cada carga útil tiene una clave que se titula reason. Estas corresponden a los eventos que activan una notificación.

Hay una lista potencial de reason para recibir una notificación:

Nombre de la razón	Descripción
`assign`	Se te asignó al informe de problemas.
`autor`	Creaste el hilo.
`comentario`	Comentaste en el hilo.
`ci_activity`	Se completó una ejecución de flujo de trabajo de GitHub Actions.
`invitación`	Aceptaste una invitación para colaborar en el repositorio.
`manual`	Te suscribiste al hilo (a través de un informe de problemas o solicitud de extracción).
`mención`	Se te @mencionó específicamente en el contenido.
`review_requested`	Se te solicitó, o se solicitó a un equipo del cual eres miembro, revisar una solicitud de extracción.
`security_alert`	GitHub descubrió una vulnerabilidad de seguridad en tu repositorio.
`state_change`	Cambiaste el estado del hilo (por ejemplo, cerraste un informe de problemas o fusionaste una solicitud de extracción).
`subscribed`	Estás observando el repositorio.
`team_mention`	Estuviste en un equipo al que se mencionó.

Toma en cuenta que la reason se modificará conforme al hilo, y puede cambiar si esta reason es diferente en una notificación posterior.

Por ejemplo, si eres el autor de un informe de problemas, las notificaciones subsecuentes de dicho informe tendrán una reason o un author. Si entonces se te @menciona en el mismo informe de problemas, las notificaciones que obtengas de ahí en adelante tendrán una reason o una mention. La reason se queda como una mention, sin importar si nunca se te menciona.

Mark notifications as read

Marks all notifications as "read" removes it from the default view on GitHub. If the number of notifications is too large to complete in one request, you will receive a 202 Accepted status and GitHub 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.

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.

put /notifications/threads/{thread_id}/subscription

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Description
`accept`	string	header	Setting to`application/vnd.github.v3+json` is recommended.
`thread_id`	integer	path	thread_id parameter
`ignored`	boolean	body	Whether to block all notifications from a thread.
