    Sorry you have to deal with this. You can stay on GitHub. Here is what to change before November 13, 2026:

1. Find the calls. Search scripts and workflows for dependency-graph/sbom.
2. Switch the endpoint. Call dependency-graph/sbom/generate-report instead.

If they would rather leave, describe a verified way <your product> can help: <your link>

    Short answer

    Switch from GitHub to Your product

    Scripts that call GitHub's synchronous SBOM API: a change is due by November 13. You can stay on GitHub. If you would rather leave, here is how to move to Your product.

    What changes at GitHub

    GitHub removes its old SBOM endpoint on November 13, 2026. It is the synchronous one at /dependency-graph/sbom. Move your scripts to the new endpoint. It gives you a URL to check until the file is ready.

    • Removal: November 13, 2026 (GitHub)
    • Old endpoint: /{owner}/{repo}/dependency-graph/sbom (GitHub)
    • New endpoint: /{owner}/{repo}/dependency-graph/sbom/generate-report (GitHub)
    • How the new one works: It returns a URL that you poll; the finished SBOM is cached for download (GitHub)
    • Announced: May 12, 2026 (GitHub)
    • Scripts on the old endpoint: Must move before November 13, 2026 (GitHub)

    You can stay on GitHub if you make the change. This page is for people who would rather leave.
