string

required

The API key for your account. You can find this in your account settings.

Requires an API key with the apps:deploy scope. This endpoint links an application to a GitHub repository and branch through the Square Cloud GitHub App, so every push to that branch deploys the application. It is the recommended alternative to Set GitHub Webhook: no personal access token is stored, and each deploy shows up as a Check Run on the commit. Before calling it, connect your GitHub account to Square Cloud and install the Square Cloud GitHub App on the repository. The repository must be covered by an installation your own GitHub account holds; otherwise the request fails with REPOSITORY_NOT_AVAILABLE. That GitHub account also needs write (push) or admin permission on the repository: read-only access fails with REPOSITORY_PERMISSION_REQUIRED. It works with an API key that has the apps:deploy scope, and only the application owner can call it. An application holds one GitHub App link at a time, so unlink the current repository before linking a different one. A repository and branch can be linked to only one application on the whole platform, whoever owns it. Linking invalidates the cached response from Get Current Deployment. Calls are rate limited to 3 per 60 seconds per user, shared with unlinking.

Parameters

string

required

The ID of the application. You can find this in the URL of your application’s dashboard.

string

required

The full name of the repository, in the owner/repository format.

string

required

The branch whose pushes deploy the application. Up to 256 characters, and it must exist in the repository with this exact name.

Response

string

Indicates whether the call was successful: success if it was, error if not.

object

The contents of the response.

Show Toggle object

object

The linked repository.

Show Toggle object

number

The GitHub ID of the repository.

string

The full name of the repository.

string

The branch that deploys the application.

Common errors

Code	HTTP	Meaning
`MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELDS`	400	`repositoryName` or `repositoryBranch` is missing.
`INVALID_BRANCH_LENGTH`	400	The branch name is longer than 256 characters.
`BRANCH_NOT_FOUND`	400	The branch does not exist in the repository.
`GIT_ALREADY_CONFIGURED`	400	The application already has a GitHub App repository. Unlink it first.
`REPOSITORY_NOT_AVAILABLE`	403	The Square Cloud GitHub App is not installed on the repository through your GitHub account.
`REPOSITORY_PERMISSION_REQUIRED`	403	Your connected GitHub account has only read access to the repository. It needs write (push) or admin permission.
`REPOSITORY_NOT_FOUND`	404	The repository does not exist or your GitHub account cannot see it.
`APP_NOT_FOUND`	404	The application does not exist or you are not its owner.
`REPOSITORY_BRANCH_ALREADY_CONFIGURED`	409	Another application, from any account, already links this repository and branch. The message names that application only when it is yours.
`FAILED_TO_FETCH`	502	GitHub did not confirm the branch. Try again.
