List secret scanning alerts for an enterprise

Lists secret scanning alerts for eligible repositories in an enterprise, from newest to oldest. To use this endpoint, you must be a member of the enterprise, and you must use an access token with the repo scope or security_events scope. Alerts are only returned for organizations in the enterprise for which you are an organization owner or a security manager, or for repositories owned by enterprise managed users.

get/enterprises/{enterprise}/secret-scanning/alerts

Path parameters

enterprisestring required

The slug version of the enterprise name.

Query parameters

state'open' | 'resolved'

Set to open or resolved to only list secret scanning alerts in a specific state.

secret_typestring

A comma-separated list of secret types to return. All default secret patterns are returned. To return generic patterns, pass the token name(s) in the parameter. See "Supported secret scanning patterns" for a complete list of secret types.

exclude_secret_typesstring

A comma-separated list of secret types to exclude from the results. All default secret patterns are returned except those matching the specified types. Cannot be combined with the secret_type parameter. See "Supported secret scanning patterns" for a complete list of secret types.

exclude_providersstring

A comma-separated list of provider slugs to exclude from the results. Provider slugs use lowercase with underscores (e.g., github_secret_scanning, clojars). You can find the provider slug in the provider_slug field of each alert. Cannot be combined with the providers parameter.

providersstring

A comma-separated list of provider slugs to filter by. Provider slugs use lowercase with underscores (e.g., github_secret_scanning, clojars). You can find the provider slug in the provider_slug field of each alert. Cannot be combined with the exclude_providers parameter.

resolutionstring

A comma-separated list of resolutions. Only secret scanning alerts with one of these resolutions are listed. Valid resolutions are false_positive, wont_fix, revoked, pattern_edited, pattern_deleted or used_in_tests.

assigneestring

Filters alerts by assignee. Use * to get all assigned alerts, none to get all unassigned alerts, or a GitHub username to get alerts assigned to a specific user.

sort'created' | 'updated'

The property to sort the results by. created means when the alert was created. updated means when the alert was updated or resolved.

direction'asc' | 'desc'

The direction to sort the results by.

per_pageinteger

The number of results per page (max 100). For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."

beforestring

A cursor, as given in the Link header. If specified, the query only searches for results before this cursor. For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."

afterstring

A cursor, as given in the Link header. If specified, the query only searches for results after this cursor. For more information, see "Using pagination in the REST API."

validitystring

A comma-separated list of validities that, when present, will return alerts that match the validities in this list. Valid options are active, inactive, and unknown.

is_publicly_leakedboolean

A boolean value representing whether or not to filter alerts by the publicly-leaked tag being present.

is_multi_repoboolean

A boolean value representing whether or not to filter alerts by the multi-repo tag being present.

hide_secretboolean

A boolean value representing whether or not to hide literal secrets in the results.

is_bypassedboolean

A boolean value (true or false) indicating whether to filter alerts by their push protection bypass status. When set to true, only alerts that were created because a push protection rule was bypassed will be returned. When set to false, only alerts that were not caused by a push protection bypass will be returned.

included_metadatastring

A comma-separated list of metadata fields to filter alerts by. Only alerts that have all of the specified metadata fields attached will be returned. Possible values are: owner-email, owner-id, owner-name, secret-id, secret-name, secret-issued-date, secret-expiration-date, organization-name, organization-id, last-used-date, and has-organization-access.

owner_email_hashstring

Filters alerts to only those whose attached owner_email metadata field matches the provided value. The value must be the lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 hash of the email address to match (for example, the SHA-256 of user@example.com). Only alerts that have an owner_email metadata value whose SHA-256 hash equals this parameter are returned.
