- "description": "Uploads SARIF data containing the results of a code scanning analysis to make the results available in a repository. You must use an access token with the `security_events` scope to use this endpoint. GitHub Apps must have the `security_events` write permission to use this endpoint.\n\nThere are two places where you can upload code scanning results.\n - If you upload to a pull request, for example `--ref refs/pull/42/merge` or `--ref refs/pull/42/head`, then the results appear as alerts in a pull request check. For more information, see \"[Triaging code scanning alerts in pull requests](/github/finding-security-vulnerabilities-and-errors-in-your-code/triaging-code-scanning-alerts-in-pull-requests).\"\n - If you upload to a branch, for example `--ref refs/heads/my-branch`, then the results appear in the **Security** tab for your repository. For more information, see \"[Managing code scanning alerts for your repository](/github/finding-security-vulnerabilities-and-errors-in-your-code/managing-code-scanning-alerts-for-your-repository#viewing-the-alerts-for-a-repository).\"\n\nYou must compress the SARIF-formatted analysis data that you want to upload, using `gzip`, and then encode it as a Base64 format string. For example:\n\n```\ngzip -c analysis-data.sarif | base64 -w0\n```\n\nSARIF upload supports a maximum of 5000 results per analysis run. Any results over this limit are ignored and any SARIF uploads with more than 25,000 results are rejected. Typically, but not necessarily, a SARIF file contains a single run of a single tool. If a code scanning tool generates too many results, you should update the analysis configuration to run only the most important rules or queries.\n\nThe `202 Accepted`, response includes an `id` value.\nYou can use this ID to check the status of the upload by using this for the `/sarifs/{sarif_id}` endpoint.\nFor more information, see \"[Get information about a SARIF upload](/rest/reference/code-scanning#get-information-about-a-sarif-upload).\"",
