About timeline events
You can use the REST API to view different types of events triggered by timeline activity in issues and pull requests. For more information about the specific events that you can receive, see AUTOTITLE. To view {% data variables.product.github %} activity outside of issues and pull requests, see AUTOTITLE.
You can use timeline events to display information about issues and pull requests or determine who should be notified of issue comments.
