GitHub releases billing usage reports REST API in public preview
Overview
GitHub Enterprise administrators now have programmatic access to billing usage reports through a new REST API currently in public preview. This capability allows teams to automate the retrieval and processing of billing data without manual downloads from the GitHub UI.
What's New
The new Usage Reports API provides REST endpoints for:
- Requesting billing usage reports programmatically
- Downloading reports in CSV format
- Accessing all existing billing report types available in the UI (such as license usage, commit, and member activity reports)
- Automating billing data workflows for enterprise accounts
How to Get Started
- Review the complete API documentation in the REST API docs for usage reports
- Example scripts and implementation guides are available in the GitHub Community discussions
- Provide feedback on the public preview to help shape the final release
What Developers Need to Know
This API is currently in public preview, meaning the interface may change before general availability. Enterprise Cloud administrators should test integration workflows early to ensure compatibility with their billing systems and automation tools.
