Fetch Code Quality findings via REST API

GitHub has introduced a new REST API endpoint for fetching Code Quality findings, as announced in a June 23, 2026 changelog entry. The endpoint provides programmatic access to alerts generated by code scanning and secret scanning features. Developers can use this API to retrieve details about code quality issues, including severity, location, and status, directly into their own tools and workflows. This eliminates the need to manually review alerts in the GitHub web interface or rely on webhooks for every event. The API is part of GitHub's ongoing efforts to make security and code quality data more accessible for automation and integration. By enabling direct querying of findings, teams can build custom dashboards, trigger automated remediation pipelines, or aggregate results across multiple repositories. The changelog does not specify rate limits, authentication requirements beyond standard GitHub API tokens, or whether the endpoint supports filtering by repository, tool, or state. However, the addition fills a gap for developers who need to incorporate code quality metrics into their existing monitoring and alerting systems without polling the UI or parsing notification emails.
