Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
list_attestations	select	username, subject_digest	per_page, before, after, predicate_type	List a collection of artifact attestations with a given subject digest that are associated with repositories owned by a user. The collection of attestations returned by this endpoint is filtered according to the authenticated user's permissions; if the authenticated user cannot read a repository, the attestations associated with that repository will not be included in the response. In addition, when using a fine-grained access token the attestations:read permission is required. Please note: in order to offer meaningful security benefits, an attestation's signature and timestamps must be cryptographically verified, and the identity of the attestation signer must be validated. Attestations can be verified using the GitHub CLI attestation verify command. For more information, see our guide on how to use artifact attestations to establish a build's provenance.
delete_attestations_by_subject_digest	delete	username, subject_digest		Delete an artifact attestation by subject digest.
delete_attestations_by_id	delete	username, attestation_id		Delete an artifact attestation by unique ID that is associated with a repository owned by a user.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
attestation_id	integer	Attestation ID
subject_digest	string	Subject Digest
username	string	The handle for the GitHub user account.
after	string	A cursor, as given in the Link header. If specified, the query only searches for results after this cursor. For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."
before	string	A cursor, as given in the Link header. If specified, the query only searches for results before this cursor. For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."
per_page	integer	The number of results per page (max 100). For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."
predicate_type	string	Optional filter for fetching attestations with a given predicate type. This option accepts provenance, sbom, release, or freeform text for custom predicate types.
