How do I enable auto-merge on a github pull request via the Rest API

I have permission, the repo allows it. I create a bunch of PRs using a cli tool and then I have to go open N tabs and double click the Enable Auto-Merge -> Confirm process for each one.

Does the API offer an issue/pr modify method to set this attribute automatically without resorting to the UI?

You can enable auto-merge on the PR using gh CLI:

gh pr merge <PR_NUMBER> --auto

This is not REST API but it's still from the command line. I hope this helps.

It is now possible to do it through the REST API:

curl -L \
  -X PATCH \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>"\
  -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO \
  -d '{"allow_auto_merge":true}'

See: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos?apiVersion=2022-11-28#update-a-repository

I solved it like this: Request POST to https://api.github.com/graphql to get pullRequestID value body:

query MyQuery {
    repository(name: "repo-example", owner: "org-example) {
        pullRequest(number: 49) {
                  id
              }
        } 
}

With pullRequest ID make a mutation: Request POST to https://api.github.com/graphql

mutation MyMutation {
    enablePullRequestAutoMerge(input: {pullRequestId: "$pullRequestID", mergeMethod: MERGE}) {
        clientMutationId
         }
}

It seems that at the moment it's not possible to do it via Rest API, but you can use GraphQL API mutation enablePullRequestAutoMerge instead.
