Deploy using Now API

[elie222]

We generate new GitHub repos from a template using the GitHub API and we'd like to autodeploy those to Now.

I see a lot of the old functionality that Zeit provided is deprecated in favour of using npm link. Is there a way to automatically connect and deploy a GitHub repo to now without first doing some steps in the UI?

Sure, but you would need our API to do that successfully: https://vercel.com/docs/api#endpoints/projects

I have the read the API documentation. Where does it show me how to connect to GitHub? I want to take a GitHub repo and create and a deploy to Zeit from it.

Oh, I see. Well, I don't think that is possible currently given our implementation. My idea was that you could manage the project creation and deployment via API.

Thanks. I figured out how to do this using Netlify last night instead but would have been great to do it with Vercel.

[paulogdm]

For sure. I have relayed to the team.

Closing this. Not currently possible.
