• I checked all open feature requests and none of them matched my problem.

What’s missing?

Recently the ability to automatically generate release notes for GitHub releases has been added.
When enabled in the project the body can be obtained using GET to below endpoint:

https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/notes?commitish={commitish}&tag_name={tag_name}

Please add it to your API.

Why?

Using the automatically generated body of the release obtained by requested new API, it will be possible to automate release creation with Create a release API.

Alternatives you tried

It is a new API, so there are no alternatives.

Would you be interested in contributing the feature?

• yes

Thanks for taking the time to fill out the template and requesting this feature!

Unfortunately, the endpoints methods are automatically generated from GitHub's OpenAPI spec, we don't add new endpoints ourselves.

If GitHub hasn't added the endpoint yet, it won't be available for use in this module.

Currently there aren't any updates to @octokit JS packages, as there is no active maintainer.

You can subscribe to this discussion for any further updates.

In the meantime, you can use the enpoint manually using the octokit.request() function
