machine-readable, always up-to-date GitHub App permissions

This repository is scraping the Permissions required for GitHub Apps app on an hourly basis and generates the generated/api.github.com.json file.

Usage

The structure of the JSON export looks like this

permissions
  api.github.com
    permissions
      [name of permission]
        url # documentation URL
        read # array of routes with read access
        write # array of routes with write access
    paths
      [http path]
        [http method]
          permission # name of permission
          access # "read" or "write"

Node.js

const appPermissions = require("@octokit/app-permissions");

const createIssuePermissions =
  appPermissions["api.github.com"].paths["/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues"].post;
console.log(
  `Required app permissions to create an issue: %o`,
  createIssuePermissions,
);

const issuesPermission = appPermissions["api.github.com"].permissions.issues;
console.log(`"issues" read access paths: %o`, issuesPermission.read);
console.log(`"issues" write access paths: %o`, issuesPermission.write);
