The Checks API enables you to build GitHub Apps that run powerful checks against code changes in a repository. You can create apps that perform continuous integration, code linting, or code scanning services and provide detailed feedback on commits. For more information, see "Getting started with the checks API" and "Creating CI tests with the Checks API."
Check Runs
Create a check run
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.

Preview notice
The Checks API is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the API may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details. To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.antiope-preview+json
☝️ This header is required.
Prüfsuiten
Note: A GitHub App only receives one check_suite
event per commit SHA, even if you push the commit SHA to more than one branch. To find out when a commit SHA is pushed to a branch, you can subscribe to branch create
events.
Create a check suite
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.

Notes
Preview notice
The Checks API is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the API may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details. To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.antiope-preview+json
☝️ This header is required.
Get a check suite
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
.
Gets a single check suite 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 suites. OAuth Apps and authenticated users must have the repo
scope to get check suites in a private repository.
get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites/{check_suite_id}

, its status
is reset to queued
and the conclusion
is cleared.
To rerequest a check suite, your GitHub App must have the checks:read
permission on a private repository or pull access to a public repository.
