Copilot Usage Metrics API Now Covers 'Copilot App' Usage

GitHub has added new fields to its Copilot usage metrics API to show usage data for the standalone “Copilot app.” Enterprise and organization admins can now view usage of the Copilot app on its own, through the same API that already reports on IDE, chat, and code review metrics.

Details

• daily_active_copilot_app_users: A new field returning the number of unique users who used the Copilot app on a given day
• totals_by_copilot_app: A new independent section summarizing Copilot app usage details, including session counts, request counts, prompt counts, and token usage
• Supported reports: Available in both the 1-day and 28-day reports for enterprises and organizations
• No impact on existing functionality: When there is no Copilot app usage, the relevant fields simply return null, so existing aggregations and dashboards are unaffected

How to try it

• Admins already using the usage metrics API can view the new fields with no additional setup required
• See GitHub’s official Copilot usage metrics API documentation for detailed specifications
