Notes

Get an organization

To see many of the organization response values, you need to be an authenticated organization owner with the admin:org scope. When the value of two_factor_requirement_enabled is true, the organization requires all members, billing managers, and outside collaborators to enable two-factor authentication.

GitHub Apps with the Organization plan permission can use this endpoint to retrieve information about an organization's GitHub plan. See "Authenticating with GitHub Apps" for details. For an example response, see 'Response with GitHub plan information' below."

get /orgs/{org}

Parameters

Name Type In Description

Notes

Set organization membership for a user

Only authenticated organization owners can add a member to the organization or update the member's role.

  • If the authenticated user is adding a member to the organization, the invited user will receive an email inviting them to the organization. The user's membership status will be pending until they accept the invitation.
  • Authenticated users can update a user's membership by passing the role parameter. If the authenticated user changes a member's role to admin, the affected user will receive an email notifying them that they've been made an organization owner. If the authenticated user changes an owner's role to member, no email will be sent.

Rate limits

To prevent abuse, the authenticated user is limited to 50 organization invitations per 24 hour period. If the organization is more than one month old or on a paid plan, the limit is 500 invitations per 24 hour period.

Notes

Webhooks

Organization webhooks allow you to receive HTTP POST payloads whenever certain events happen in an organization. The webhook REST APIs enable you to manage repository, organization, and app webhooks. You can use this API to list webhook deliveries for a webhook, or get and redeliver an individual delivery for a webhook, which can be integrated into an external app or service. You can also use the REST API to change the configuration of the webhook. For example, you can modify the payload URL, content type, SSL verification, and secret. For more information, see:

For more information on actions you can subscribe to, see "GitHub event types."

Scopes & Restrictions

All actions against organization webhooks require the authenticated user to be an admin of the organization being managed. Additionally, OAuth tokens require the admin:org_hook scope. For more information, see "Scopes for OAuth Apps."

In order to protect sensitive data which may be present in webhook configurations, we also enforce the following access control rules:

  • OAuth applications cannot list, view, or edit webhooks which they did not create.
  • Users cannot list, view, or edit webhooks which were created by OAuth applications.

Receiving Webhooks

In order for GitHub to send webhook payloads, your server needs to be accessible from the Internet. We also highly suggest using SSL so that we can send encrypted payloads over HTTPS.

For more best practices, see our guide.

Webhook headers

GitHub will send along several HTTP headers to differentiate between event types and payload identifiers. See webhook headers for details.

get /orgs/{org}/hooks

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.
org string path
per_page integer query
