OAuth scope requirements

This only lists organizations that your authorization allows you to operate on in some way (e.g., you can list teams with read:org scope, you can publicize your organization membership with user scope, etc.). Therefore, this API requires at least user or read:org scope. OAuth requests with insufficient scope receive a 403 Forbidden response.

List user organizations

List installations for an organization

Note: To access the API with your GitHub App, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept Header for your requests.

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.

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

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.

Edit an organization

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

Note: The new members_allowed_repository_creation_type replaces the functionality of members_can_create_repositories.

Setting members_allowed_repository_creation_type will override the value of members_can_create_repositories in the following ways:

Setting members_allowed_repository_creation_type to all or private sets members_can_create_repositories to true.
Setting members_allowed_repository_creation_type to none sets members_can_create_repositories to false.
If you omit members_allowed_repository_creation_type, members_can_create_repositories is not modified.

Enables an authenticated organization owner with the admin:org scope to update the organization's profile and member privileges.
