REST-API-Endpunkte für OAuth-Autorisierungen

Verwenden der REST-API für die Interaktion mit OAuth apps und OAuth-Autorisierungen von GitHub Apps

Informationen zu OAuth apps und OAuth-Autorisierungen von GitHub Apps

Sie können diese Endpunkte verwenden, um die OAuth-Token zu verwalten, die OAuth apps oder GitHub Apps für den Zugriff auf die Konten von Personen auf GitHub verwenden.

Token für OAuth apps weisen das Präfix gho_ auf, während OAuth-Token für GitHub Apps, die für die Authentifizierung im Namen des Benutzers verwendet werden, das Präfix ghu_ aufweisen. Du kannst die folgenden Endpunkte für beide Typen von OAuth-Token verwenden.

Delete an app authorization

OAuth and GitHub application owners can revoke a grant for their application and a specific user. You must provide a valid OAuth access_token as an input parameter and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted. Deleting an application's grant will also delete all OAuth tokens associated with the application for the user. Once deleted, the application will have no access to the user's account and will no longer be listed on the application authorizations settings screen within GitHub.
