<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/subscription</code></div>

`level` is `participating` (the default: only what you take part in or are mentioned in), `all` (every issue and pull request opened, commented on, closed or merged, and every deployment), `ignore` (nothing, not even a mention) or `custom` (what you take part in, and the kinds in `events`: `issues`, `pulls`, `deployments`, `security`). `subscribed` is true for `all` and `custom`, and `ignored` for `ignore`.

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
