About the Source imports API
{% data reusables.user-settings.imports-api-classic-pat-only %}
{% data variables.migrations.source_imports_intro %} A typical source import would start the import and then (optionally) update the authors and/or update the preference for using Git LFS if large files exist in the import. You can also create a webhook that listens for the RepositoryImportEvent to find out the status of the import.
A more detailed example can be seen in this diagram:
