# /repos/{}/{}/import* stops working

Calls to /repos/{id}/{id}/import* on GitHub REST API stopped working on April 12, 2024.

## What to use instead

Import with GitHub Importer (https://github.com/new/import) or one of the alternatives on GitHub Docs' "Programmatically importing repositories" page.

No REST replacement: imports move to the GitHub Importer UI, GitHub Enterprise Importer or a scripted git mirror push.
