How to trigger a `workflow_dispatch` from Github API?-CodePudding

With the Github API

On the official Github Documentation, there is a service to create a workflow dispatch event

Here is a curl example:

curl \
  -X POST \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3 json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/hello-world/actions/workflows/42/dispatches \
  -d '{"ref":"main"}'

Note that you can also send workflow inputs through this API as well.

You can also find more references about this in this article.

There is also another Github API service to trigger repository_dispatch events.

If you're looking for triggering those workflow_dispatch events (and repository_dispatch events) through a terminal command line, you can use this automation in Python. The implementation can be found in this class.
