GitHub expands Copilot Usage Metrics API with org-level pull request metrics parity

Overview

GitHub is expanding the organization-level Copilot Usage Metrics API to include a broader set of pull request activity metrics. This update brings org-level endpoints to feature parity with enterprise-level capabilities that were previously exclusive to enterprise tier users.

New Metrics Available

Organizations can now retrieve daily aggregated pull request activity through the org-level API:

Baseline Pull Request Activity:

  • Total pull requests created, reviewed, and merged
  • Median time to merge (in minutes)

Copilot Participation Metrics:

  • Pull requests created by Copilot coding agent
  • Pull requests reviewed by Copilot code review
  • Review suggestions and applied suggestions from Copilot
  • Copilot-created pull requests that were merged
  • Median time to merge for Copilot-created pull requests

Key Benefits

With these metrics now available at the org level, teams can:

  • Standardize reporting across the organization without requiring enterprise-level access
  • Quantify Copilot's impact on the entire pull request lifecycle—from creation through merge
  • Track actionable feedback by measuring applied suggestions alongside total suggestions
  • Gain visibility into non-IDE Copilot usage, including agent-created pull requests and Copilot-authored reviews

Important Considerations

  • Deduplication differences: If an organization belongs to an enterprise, org-level totals may not match enterprise totals due to users belonging to multiple organizations
  • Attribution edge cases: Repository transfers can split attribution between organizations if transfers occur between pull request creation and merge
  • Data availability: If the API reports contain only pull request data, it indicates the organization lacks IDE usage activity
