Deprecation: Source Imports REST API

The Source Imports REST API allows integrators to programatically import internet-accessible Git repositories into GitHub.com – for example, from code hosting platforms like Bitbucket Cloud or GitLab.com.

We're ending support for this API due to very low levels of usage and available alternatives. From 00:00 UTC on April 12, 2024, these endpoints will return an error. Integrators affected by this change will receive email alerts ahead of this deprecation.

If you're using the Source Imports API, you'll need to update your integration by that date, or it will stop working. You can learn about alternatives to this API on the new "Programatically importing repositories" page on the GitHub Docs.
