Git Blobs | GitHub API |
Since blobs can be any arbitrary binary data, the input and responses
for the blob API takes an encoding parameter that can be either utf-8
or base64. If your data cannot be losslessly sent as a UTF-8 string,
you can base64 encode it.
Blobs leverage these custom mime types. You can read more about the use of mime types in the API here.
GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/blobs/:sha
<%= headers 200 %> <%= json :content => "Content of the blob", :encoding => "utf-8" %>
POST /repos/:user/:repo/git/blobs
<%= json :content => "Content of the blob", :encoding => "utf-8" %>
<%= headers 201, :Location => "https://api.github.com/git/:user/:repo/blob/:sha" %> <%= json :sha => "3a0f86fb8db8eea7ccbb9a95f325ddbedfb25e15" %>
These are the supported mime types for blobs. You can read more about the use of mime types in the API here.
