GitHub apps are a new way to extend GitHub. They can be installed directly on organizations and user accounts and granted access to specific repositories. They come with granular permissions and built-in webhooks. GitHub apps are first class actors within GitHub.
Show Child Parameters
Path Parameters
Get an issue
The API returns a 301 Moved Permanently
status if the issue was
transferred to another repository. If
the issue was transferred to or deleted from a repository where the authenticated user lacks read access, the API
returns a 404 Not Found
status. If the issue was deleted from a repository where the authenticated user has read
access, the API returns a 410 Gone
status. To receive webhook events for transferred and deleted issues, subscribe
to the issues
webhook.
Note: GitHub’s REST API v3 considers every pull request an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this
reason, “Issues” endpoints may return both issues and pull requests in the response. You can identify pull requests by
the pull_request
key. Be aware that the id
of a pull request returned from “Issues” endpoints will be an issue id. To find out the pull
request id, use the “List pull requests” endpoint.
