get build status through github api

The GitHub API provides a lot of functionality, but is there a way to retrieve the build status for a commit? The GitHub UI provides information from the CI system we have configured, but I can't see this information exposed through the API?

Solution

  • You can access the status for a particular ref

    GET https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits/:ref/statuses

    For the value of :ref, you can use a SHA, a branch name, or a tag name.
