Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check the current status of GitHub API Requests?

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.

How can I verify if a failed check run is related to an API issue?

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.

How does an API outage impact commit statuses and status checks?

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.

What should I do if my API requests are taking too long to process?

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.

How long does GitHub retain API request data after an outage?

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.

Can I manually retry API requests after a GitHub outage?

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.

Is GitHub API Requests down today or just slow?

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.

How are GitHub API Requests outages detected?

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.

Is GitHub API Requests having an outage right now?

GitHub API Requests last outage was on October 22, 2025 with the title "Incident with API Requests"

How IsDown compares to DownDetector when monitoring GitHub?

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.
