How to fetch Github workflows yaml files using Github Actions API-CodePudding

I am following this documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/actions#list-repository-workflows

/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows

My sample output looks like this:

{
"total_count": 1,
"workflows": [
   {
     "id": 161335,
     "node_id": "MDg6V29ya2Zsb3cxNjEzMzU=",
     "name": "CI",
     "path": ".github/workflows/blank.yaml",
     "state": "active",
     "created_at": "2020-01-08T23:48:37.000-08:00",
     "updated_at": "2020-01-08T23:50:21.000-08:00",
     "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octo-org/octo-repo/actions/workflows/161335",
     "html_url": "https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/blob/master/.github/workflows/161335",
     "badge_url": "https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/workflows/CI/badge.svg"
   }
 ]
}

How do I fetch the workflow yaml file from this output

CodePudding user response：

Given the filename, use the Get repository content API to fetch the file.

For your file, that'd be:

 curl \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3 json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/octo-org/octo-repo/contents/.github/workflows/blank.yaml

The response JSON will contain a field content, which contains the encoded contents of that workflow.
