Thanks, this used to be a request on yalls radar (the link in the issue) I assume it got reprioritized at some point?

This is definitely something I would expect an enterprise product with a REST API to support. We would like API access into most of our configuration to do automatic checks that we have enabled the relevant capabilities and Firewall protections for repos. Without native Terraform support for configuration there's a high chance of human error so we at least would like to do regular automatic checks that we have the correct settings in place. We should be able to do everything via API!

This would be highly beneficial in our environment as well. Supporting this through the API would give us much better control over and insight into our repositories.
