Getting "not found" after authenticating when trying to initiate GitHub workflow via REST

Asked 2022-Jan-17 at 11:10

I am trying to trigger the workflow_dispatch action for a GitHub workflow via REST but I am getting a "not found" error.

My question is similar to this one but the difference is that I am still getting the "not found" error even though the header indicates I am authenticated (the rate limit has increased to 5,000).

Here's my script:

The machine user needs to have write access, not read access.

This is true even if the workflow does something like run CI tests and does not write any code.

Watch GH Actions workflow output in CLI?

Asked 2021-Nov-09 at 20:17

I am trying to execute a github workflow via the CLI, on a particular branch. The documentation for this is available here https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_workflow_run

Is it possible to somehow get the same kind of logs you get with the browser UI in the terminal? I would like to programmatically interact with it.

If its possible with their rest api, then that is even better. https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/actions#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event As per the docs, it just returns a Status: 204 No Content.

It's possible to do trigger a workflow remotely using the Github API with the dispatch_event API you mentioned.

The Github CLI have various command for workflow (to run, list, view, enable ou disable). You can find more information on the official documentation

To get the logs from the Github CLI, as explained here, you can use commands such as:

following this instruction https://goobar.dev/manually-trigger-a-github-actions-workflow/ you do probably most of it correct

try to run it on LINUX with curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "Authorization: token your-token" --request POST --data '{"event_type": "do-something"}' https://api.github.com/repos/yourname/yourrepo/dispatches

On Windows: cURL POST command does not work on Windows Command Prompt because single quotes are used see https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-accessing-data-rest/issues/11

QUESTION

Can Personal Access Token with limited scope be shared with other users?

Asked 2021-Apr-09 at 08:08

I'm building a CLI which triggers an Action (using workflow_dispatch) in my repository. I'm using Github API to perform this task. Taken from the docs:

You must authenticate using an access token with the repo scope to use this endpoint.

I've generated a PAT with repo scope to authenticate myself. I want users to run this CLI. Is it safe to share this PAT (which has repo as the only scope)?

p.s. I know it is ironical to ask if "Personal"-access-token can be "shared". But I don't see any problem it can cause with its limited scope.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Apr-09 at 08:08

I don't think it is a good idea. Repo scope is not limited to only one repo.

If you want to trigger actions by external users, your best bet would probably be to create a workflow running on PR or Issue events.

Allow your users to create issues
Monitor keywords or label on the issue
Trigger your action.
