This page lists endpoints that you can access while authenticated as a GitHub App. See "Authenticating as a GitHub App" to learn more.

When authenticated as a GitHub App, the GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of an app.

You can access REST API v3 endpoints while authenticated as a GitHub App. These endpoints have a "Notes" section that contains a bullet point that says "Works with GitHub Apps." You can also access these endpoints while authenticated as a user.

A subset of REST API v3 endpoints requires authenticating as a GitHub App installation. See Installations for a list of these endpoints.
