checks

Get a check suite

Gets a single check suite using its id.

[!NOTE] The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array and a null value for head_branch.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo scope to use this endpoint on a private repository.
