GitHub Copilot app now available in the usage metrics API

GitHub has added Copilot app usage data to its usage metrics API, enabling enterprise and organization admins to track app activity alongside IDE, chat, and code review metrics. The update introduces fields for daily active app users and a dedicated section with session, request, prompt, and token counts in 1-day and 28-day reports.

The Copilot usage metrics API now reports the GitHub Copilot app usage in the enterprise and organization 1-day and 28-day reports. This gives enterprise and organization admins visibility into the app’s activity alongside the IDE, chat, code review, and coding agent metrics they already retrieve.

What’s new The enterprise and organization reports now include two new fields:

: The number of distinct users active in the Copilot app on a given day.daily_active_copilot_app_users

: A dedicated GitHub Copilot app section reportingtotals_by_copilot_app

session_count

,request_count

,prompt_count

, and atoken_usage

breakdown (i.e.,output_tokens_sum

,prompt_tokens_sum

, andavg_tokens_per_request

).

Why this matters The GitHub Copilot app activity was not previously represented in usage reporting. With these fields, enterprise and organization admins can see how broadly the app is being adopted (e.g., distinct active users, session and request volume, and token consumption) in the same API they already use for the rest of their Copilot usage metrics.

Important notes

  • These fields appear in the enterprise andorganization 1-day and 28-day reports. - The GitHub Copilot app usage is reported in its own totals_by_copilot_app

section and is kept separate from the generic feature, model, and language totals, as well as from lines-of-code metrics. - Enterprises or organizations with no GitHub Copilot app activity report null

for bothdaily_active_copilot_app_users andtotals_by_copilot_app

, so existing integrations are unaffected.
