Use the REST API to interact with GitHub Apps
About GitHub AppsIf you are using your app with GitHub Actions and want to modify workflow files, you must authenticate on behalf of the user with an OAuth token that includes the workflow scope. The user must have admin or write permission to the repository that contains the workflow file. For more information, see Scopes for OAuth apps.
This page lists endpoints that you can access while authenticated as a GitHub App. For more information, see Authenticating as a GitHub App.
See REST API endpoints for GitHub App installations for a list of endpoints that require authentication as a GitHub App installation.

Use this endpoint to complete the handshake necessary when implementing the GitHub App Manifest flow. When you create a GitHub App with the manifest flow, you receive a temporary code used to retrieve the GitHub App's id, pem (private key), and webhook_secret.
This endpoint does not work with GitHub App user access tokens, GitHub App installation access tokens, or fine-grained personal access tokens.

Creates an installation access token that enables a GitHub App to make authenticated API requests for the app's installation on an organization or individual account. Installation tokens expire one hour from the time you create them. Using an expired token produces a status code of 401 - Unauthorized, and requires creating a new installation token. By default the installation token has access to all repositories that the installation can access.
Optionally, you can use the repositories or repository_ids body parameters to specify individual repositories that the installation access token can access. If you don't use repositories or repository_ids to grant access to specific repositories, the installation access token will have access to all repositories that the installation was granted access to. The installation access token cannot be granted access to repositories that the installation was not granted access to. Up to 500 repositories can be listed in this manner.
Optionally, use the permissions body parameter to specify the permissions that the installation access token should have. If permissions is not specified, the installation access token will have all of the permissions that were granted to the app. The installation access token cannot be granted permissions that the app was not granted.
You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.
