--- title: Validate Plugin Marketplace Repository url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/go/beta/organization/plugin_marketplaces/validate_repository --- # Validate Plugin Marketplace Repository `client.Beta.Organization.PluginMarketplaces.ValidateRepository(ctx, params) (*BetaPluginMarketplaceValidationReport, error)` **POST** `/v1/organizations/plugin_marketplaces/validate_repository` Check whether a plugin marketplace held in a public GitHub repository would synchronize into claude.ai, without connecting or storing it. To check a `.zip` of the marketplace directory instead, use Validate Plugin Marketplace Archive. The report says whether `marketplace.json` is well-formed, which plugins a synchronization would skip and why, and which plugins would synchronize only in part, with some files left out. A repository that is missing, private, or has no such branch or commit is reported, not refused: the response is a report with `valid: false`. Plugin sources outside the marketplace are fetched anonymously from GitHub, so a private one is reported as not found; a source on any other host is not fetched here, and the report notes that it will be checked when the marketplace actually synchronizes. Nothing is recorded on the Compliance API activity feed. For a worked example, see [Validate marketplace content](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/plugins-api?sdk_languages=go#validate-marketplace-content) in the Plugins API guide. **Accepted credentials:** an Admin API key with the `read:plugins` or `write:plugins` scope; `read:org_audit` and `read:compliance_org_data` do not grant it. Every request must include the beta header `anthropic-beta: ce-plugins-2026-09-01`. A request without it returns `404`, exactly as if the endpoint did not exist. The Plugins API is in beta and is available to Claude Enterprise organizations only. It is not available to Claude Platform (Claude Console) organizations, or to organizations with HIPAA readiness enabled. ## Parameters - `params BetaOrganizationPluginMarketplaceValidateRepositoryParams` - `RepositoryURL string` The `https://` URL of a public repository on github.com that holds the marketplace. Any other host, a URL with credentials in it, or one that does not name a repository is a 400. minLength: 1 - `Ref param.Opt[string] Optional` The branch to validate the tip of, or the full 40-character SHA of the commit to validate. When omitted, the branch a synchronization would read (usually the repository's default branch); if that is not the default branch, the report's `ref` says which branch was read. An empty string, or a value that is neither a branch name nor a 40-character SHA, is a 400. minLength: 1 - `Betas []AnthropicBeta Optional` (header parameter) This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `ce-plugins-2026-09-01` in this header. -

`type BetaPluginMarketplaceValidationReport` The outcome of validating plugin marketplace content: a report, not a stored object, so nothing in it can be retrieved afterwards. - `Type PluginMarketplaceValidationReport` Always `plugin_marketplace_validation_report`. default: plugin_marketplace_validation_report - `CommitSha string` The full SHA of the commit that was validated: for a repository, the commit that was read; for an uploaded archive, the commit recorded in the archive's comment (as a Git host's download writes it; not verified), else null. - `ManifestError string` Set when nothing could be validated: the repository or archive could not be read, or marketplace.json is missing, malformed or over a limit. Null otherwise. - `ManifestErrorCode string` A stable identifier for `manifest_error`; null when that is. - `PluginErrors []BetaPluginMarketplaceValidationPluginError` One entry per plugin a synchronization would skip entirely, keyed by the plugin's name in marketplace.json. - `Error string` Why the plugin would be skipped by a synchronization. - `ErrorCode string` A stable identifier for the reason — the value to branch on. - `Name string` The plugin's name, as its entry in marketplace.json declares it. - `PluginWarnings []BetaPluginMarketplaceValidationPluginWarnings` One entry per plugin that would synchronize with some of its contents left out, keyed by the plugin's name in marketplace.json. - `Name string` The plugin's name, as its entry in marketplace.json declares it. - `Warnings []BetaPluginMarketplaceValidationPluginWarning` The parts of the plugin a synchronization would leave out. - `ErrorCode string` A stable identifier for the kind of warning. - `Message string` What would be left out, and why. - `Ref string` For a repository, the branch that was read by name: the one requested, or else the branch a synchronization of this repository is set to read. Null when no branch is named or set and the repository's default branch was read, for a request by commit SHA, and for an uploaded archive. - `TotalPluginCount int64` How many plugins marketplace.json declares; 0 when it could not be read. - `Valid bool` True when marketplace.json is well-formed and no plugin would be skipped; warnings never make it false. ## Example ```go package main import ( "context" "fmt" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option" ) func main() { client := anthropic.NewClient( option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"), ) betaPluginMarketplaceValidationReport, err := client.Beta.Organization.PluginMarketplaces.ValidateRepository(context.TODO(), anthropic.BetaOrganizationPluginMarketplaceValidateRepositoryParams{ RepositoryURL: "https://github.com/example-org/example-marketplace", }) if err != nil { panic(err.Error()) } fmt.Printf("%+v\n", betaPluginMarketplaceValidationReport.Valid) } ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "commit_sha": "9fceb02d0ae598e95dc970b74767f19372d61af8", "manifest_error": "manifest_error", "manifest_error_code": "marketplace_sync_manifest_not_found", "plugin_errors": [ { "error": "error", "error_code": "marketplace_sync_plugin_missing_manifest", "name": "name" } ], "plugin_warnings": [ { "name": "name", "warnings": [ { "error_code": "marketplace_sync_zipball_symlink_dangling", "message": "message" } ] } ], "ref": "main", "total_plugin_count": 0, "type": "plugin_marketplace_validation_report", "valid": false } ```
