You can retrieve and update {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alerts from a repository.

For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
There is one supported custom media type for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} endpoints.
application/sarif+json
You can use this with GET requests sent to the /analyses/{analysis_id} endpoint. For more information about this operation, see "Get a {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} analysis for a repository." When you use this media type with this operation, the response includes a subset of the actual data that was uploaded for the specified analysis, rather than the summary of the analysis that's returned when you use the default media type. The response also includes additional data such as the github/alertNumber and github/alertUrl properties. The data is formatted as SARIF version 2.1.0.
