This version of GitHub Enterprise Server was discontinued on 2023-09-25. No patch releases will be made, even for critical security issues. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to the latest version of GitHub Enterprise Server. For help with the upgrade, contact GitHub Enterprise support.

After a site administrator upgrades your Enterprise Server instance to Enterprise Server 3.9 or later, the REST API will be versioned. To learn how to find your instance's version, see "About versions of GitHub Docs". For more information, see "About API versioning."

Issue events

Use the REST API to retrieve events triggered by activity in issues and pull requests.

About events

You can use the REST API to view different types of events triggered by activity in issues and pull requests. For more information about the specific events that you can receive, see "Issue event types." To view GitHub activity outside of issues and pull requests, you can use the Events endpoints.

Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "shared" actions for both features, like managing assignees, labels, and milestones, are provided within the Issues endpoints.
