Get GitHub meta information

Works with GitHub Apps

Returns meta information about GitHub, including a list of GitHub's IP addresses. For more information, see "About GitHub's IP addresses."

The API's response also includes a list of GitHub's domain names.

The values shown in the documentation's response are example values. You must always query the API directly to get the latest values.

Note: This endpoint returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. However, not all features support IPv6. You should refer to the specific documentation for each feature to determine if IPv6 is supported.
