About this API

GitHub has two enterprise products: GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC, SaaS) and GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES, self-hosted). GHEC is GitHub.com's enterprise version — same codebase and API, plus enterprise-required features: SSO (SAML, SCIM auto user provisioning), detailed audit logs, IP allowlist, enterprise-level data export, Advanced Security (secret scanning, CodeQL, dependency review), and more. Developer API is nearly identical to GitHub.com (same octokit SDK works), but some enterprise-only endpoints (/enterprises/{enterprise}/...) are for enterprise admins managing the whole enterprise (not just a single org). SCIM sync is a core scenario — HR system's new employee onboards → SCIM auto-creates GitHub account, joins appropriate teams; offboards → auto-deprovisions, ensuring permission revocation.

What you can build

FAQ

GHEC vs. GHES — which API has more features?+

GHEC typically gets new feature APIs first. GHES follows releases on version cadence (major release annually).

Can I use GitHub.com's SDKs against GHEC?+

Yes — fully compatible, just change endpoint URL (only GHES self-hosted needs the change; GHEC still uses api.github.com).
