Search API Becomes an Official Part of API v3

We’re excited to announce that the new Search API has graduated from preview mode. As of today, the Search API is an official part of GitHub API v3. As such, the Search API is now stable and suitable for production use.

Preview Media Type No Longer Needed

If you used the Search API during the preview period, you needed to provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.preview+json

Now that the preview period has ended, you no longer need to pass this custom media type.

Instead, we recommend that you specify v3 as the version in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.v3+json

Onward!

Thanks again to everyone that tried out the Search API during the preview period.

We can’t wait to see what you build!
