About workflow jobs in GitHub Actions
You can use the REST API to view logs and workflow jobs in GitHub Actions. A workflow job is a set of steps that execute on the same runner. For more information, see "Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions".
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.

Gets a specific job in a workflow run. 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.
