Question

Body

I would like to use the REST Api to access the list of subscriptions shown at this URL:
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions

I've searched the REST API docs and can't find a route that returns exactly this information. Did I miss something?

It would be nice if it cold return a "most recently subscribed to" sorted list as well just like in that UI.

Does the REST API at this link #about-github-notifications help?

[gamerson]

Its close! But not quite.  That API seems to list recent notifications (like an email you get about something you are subscribed to).  It more about the data from this page: https://github.com/notifications?query=is%3Aunread

What I'd like to get is a list of 'active subscriptions'. Which is what this page is showing: https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions](https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions). I'd like to avoid screen scraping and was hoping there was a REST API call to do the same.

• no API call to get this specific list
• the workaround is to get a SESSION_TOKEN and then scrap the html file for the information you need

Get a SESSION_TOKEN

• log into GitHub
• open the Inspect page (⌘ Command + ⌥ Option + C)
• select Network, go to the page of interest, for example https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions
• find theSESSION_TOKEN within the Cookie header after user_session=

curl -X GET "https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions" \
	-H "cookie: user_session=<SESSION_TOKEN>" \
	--output list_notification_subscribtions.html
