Get an organization

Note: New repository creation permissions are available to preview. You can now set the members_allowed_repository_creation_type parameter to configure whether organization members can create repositories and the type of repositories they can create.

To access this new parameter during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.surtur-preview+json

Warning: The API may change without advance notice during the preview period. Preview features are not supported for production use. If you experience any issues, contact your GitHub Enterprise site administrator.

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.

GET /orgs/:org
