Errors
Handle these documented responses before retrying or showing customer-facing failures.
Validation Error
A parameter failed validation.
Not Found
GitHub has no public resource at that address. For a repository this also covers a private or renamed repository, which is indistinguishable anonymously.
{
"error": "GitHub returned 404 for this resource.",
"error_code": "github_not_found"
}GitHub Upstream Unavailable
The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly.
{
"error": "GitHub upstream is temporarily unavailable.",
"error_code": "github_upstream_unavailable",
"retryable": true
}Parser Drift
GitHub returned a response shape this parser does not recognise. The incident has been reported; retrying will return the same result.
{
"error": "GitHub response shape changed unexpectedly. The incident has been reported.",
"error_code": "github_parser_drift",
"retryable": false
}Not Acceptable Upstream
GitHub has no JSON representation for this route, or rejected the request headers. Never charged.
{
"error": "This GitHub route has no JSON representation.",
"error_code": "github_html_only_route_json_requested",
"retryable": false
