GitHub Enterprise

GitHub Enterprise is GitHub's offering for organizations that need advanced security, compliance, identity, and scale on top of the GitHub platform. It ships in two flavors: GitHub Enterprise Cloud, a hosted multi-tenant service on api.github.com with enterprise-managed users and SAML SSO; and GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES), a self-hosted appliance with the same REST and GraphQL APIs served from a customer's domain at /api/v3 and /api/graphql. Both expose the full GitHub REST API for repositories, issues, pull requests, actions, packages, advanced security, audit log, SCIM, and admin operations, authenticated with personal access tokens or GitHub App tokens.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles GitHub Enterprise the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — GitHub Enterprise scores 31.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile GitHub Enterprise

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for GitHub Enterprise. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

GitHub Enterprise Actions API

The Actions API from GitHub Enterprise — 2 operation(s) for actions.

GitHub Enterprise Code Scanning API

The Code Scanning API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for code scanning.

GitHub Enterprise Enterprise Admin API

The Enterprise Admin API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for enterprise admin.

GitHub Enterprise Issues API

The Issues API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for issues.

GitHub Enterprise Organizations API

The Organizations API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for organizations.

GitHub Enterprise Pull Requests API

The Pull Requests API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for pull requests.

GitHub Enterprise Repositories API

The Repositories API from GitHub Enterprise — 2 operation(s) for repositories.

GitHub Enterprise SCIM API

The SCIM API from GitHub Enterprise — 1 operation(s) for scim.

GitHub Enterprise Users API

The Users API from GitHub Enterprise — 2 operation(s) for users.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

GitHub Enterprise GraphQL API

Hosted GitHub Enterprise Cloud REST API. Provides full access to repositories, issues, pull requests, GitHub Actions, packages, code scanning, secret scanning, Dependabot, audit...

GRAPHQL

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.

SECURITY

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
