Check if GitHub API Requests is down, official outages, user-reported issues, and outages map.
GitHub API Requests is working normally
Check the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.
IsDown has tracked 65 incidents for GitHub API Requests since started monitoring GitHub status in April 2020. We collect data from 4522+ services, and normalize the data to give you a clear picture of the impact of the outage. It will show official GitHub API Requests outages and also issues that we're started by a spike in crowdsource reports.

API Requests on GitHub allow developers to programmatically interact with GitHub's platform, enabling automation and integration of repository and user data management.
Monitoring GitHub since April 2020
API Requests is part of GitHub. Check the GitHub's status.
20 incidents in 2025
You can check the GitHub API Requests status page on IsDown to monitor any ongoing outages or disruptions. Additionally, you can visit the official GitHub status page to verify if API-related issues have been reported. If your API requests are failing, review your REST API endpoints, check your commit statuses, and inspect recent check runs for failures.
If a check run fails unexpectedly, check if the REST API endpoints for check are responsive. API-related outages can prevent GitHub Actions from executing properly, affect status checks, or delay commit statuses from updating. You can also use the REST API to interact with the logs and investigate the failure.
If GitHub API Requests are down, commit statuses and status checks may not update in real time. This can delay check runs and requested actions, causing unexpected failures in check suites. Developers can monitor API health through the GitHub REST API documentation or use the API endpoints for commit statuses to track updates.
If your API requests are delayed, it could be due to REST API endpoint congestion, high system load, or an ongoing GitHub issue. Monitor the results to fetch from GitHub's response headers and optimize your queries by targeting specific lines of code rather than requesting an entire repository.
GitHub follows retention of checks policies, meaning API logs, commit statuses, and check runs may be archived after a certain period. If you need to retrieve past request logs, you can access them through the REST API to manage checks, the checks tab in the GitHub UI, or the REST API endpoints for commit.
Yes, if an API outage has affected your requests, you can retry them manually once the service is restored. Developers can use the REST API to manage checks, reprocess failed check suites, or trigger a check run endpoint to resume workflows. If needed, you can also create a check run to validate a pending process.
Currently there's no report of GitHub API Requests being slow. Check on the top of the page if there are any reported problems by other users.
IsDown monitors the GitHub API Requests official status page every few minutes. We also get reports from users like you. If there are enough reports about an outage, we'll show it on the top of the page.
GitHub API Requests last outage was on October 22, 2025 with the title "Incident with API Requests"
IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if GitHub is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about GitHub's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
