# List releases

> A repository's releases, newest first, at most 100: each with its id (rel_…), tag_name, target (the commit the tag named), name, body (Markdown notes), draft, prerelease, author, created_at, published_at and latest (the newest published release that is neither a draft nor a prerelease).

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

Drafts are listed only to those with the Write role.

Drafts are listed only to those with the Write role; their `published_at` is null.

| 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. |
