Use the REST API to interact with pull requests.
About pull requestsYou can list, view, edit, create, and merge pull requests using the REST API. For information about how to interact with comments on a pull request, see REST API endpoints for issue comments.
Pull requests are a type of issue. Any actions that are available in both pull requests and issues, like managing assignees, labels, and milestones, are handled by the REST API to manage issues. To perform these actions on pull requests, you must use the issues API endpoints (for example, /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}
), not the pull requests endpoints. For more information, see REST API endpoints for issues.
Pull requests have these possible link relations:
self
: The API location of this pull requesthtml

: The URL template to construct the API location for a review comment in this pull request's repositorycommits
: The API location of this pull request's commitsstatuses

branchLists pull requests in a specified repository.
Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.
To open or update a pull request in a public repository, you must have write access to the head or the source branch. For organization-owned repositories, you must be a member of the organization that owns the repository to open or update a pull request.
This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. For more information, see "Rate limits for the API" and "Best practices for using the REST API."
This endpoint supports the following custom media types. For more information, see "Media types."
application/vnd.github.raw+json
: Returns the raw markdown body. Response will include body
. This is the default if you do not pass any specific media type.application/vnd.github.text+json
: Returns a text only representation of the markdown body. Response will include body_text
.application/vnd.github.html+json
: Returns HTML rendered from the body's markdown. Response will include body_html
.application/vnd.github.full+json
: Returns raw, text, and HTML representations. Response will include body
, body_text
, and body_html

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.
Lists details of a pull request by providing its number.
When you get, create, or edit a pull request, GitHub creates a merge commit to test whether the pull request can be automatically merged into the base branch. This test commit is not added to the base branch or the head branch. You can review the status of the test commit using the mergeable
key. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".
The value of the mergeable
attribute can be true
, false
, or null
. If the value is null
, then GitHub has started a background job to compute the mergeability. After giving the job time to complete, resubmit the request. When the job finishes, you will see a non-null
value for the mergeable
attribute in the response. If mergeable
is true
, then merge_commit_sha
will be the SHA of the test merge commit.
The value of the merge_commit_sha
attribute changes depending on the state of the pull request. Before merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha
attribute holds the SHA of the test merge commit. After merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha
attribute changes depending on how you merged the pull request:
merge_commit_sha
represents the SHA of the merge commit.merge_commit_sha
represents the SHA of the squashed commit on the base branch.merge_commit_sha
represents the commit that the base branch was updated to.Pass the appropriate media type to fetch diff and patch formats.
