GitHub Actions Variables
Use the REST API to interact with variables in GitHub Actions.
About variables in GitHub Actions
You can use the REST API to create, update, delete, and retrieve information about variables that can be used in workflows in GitHub Actions. Variables allow you to store non-sensitive information, such as a username, in your repository, repository environments, or organization.
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_variables/environments/organization_actions_variables
permission to use these endpoints. Authenticated users must have collaborator access to a repository to create, update, or read variables.
List organization variables
Lists all organization variables. You must authenticate using an access token with the admin:org
scope to use this endpoint. GitHub Apps must have the organization_actions_variables:read
organization permission to use this endpoint.
