GitHub Actions Artifacts
Use the REST API to interact with artifacts in GitHub Actions.
About artifacts in GitHub Actions
You can use the REST API to download, delete, and retrieve information about workflow artifacts in GitHub Actions. Artifacts enable you to share data between jobs in a workflow and store data once that workflow has completed. For more information, see "Storing workflow data as artifacts."
These endpoints are available for authenticated users, OAuth apps, and GitHub Apps. Access tokens require repo
scope for private repositories and public_repo
scope for public repositories. GitHub Apps must have the actions
permission to use these endpoints.
List artifacts for a repository
Lists all artifacts for a repository. Anyone with read access to the repository can use this endpoint. If the repository is private you must use an access token with the repo
scope. GitHub Apps must have the actions:read
permission to use this endpoint.
