GraphQL Actions API?

[jacek-jablonski]

Hi,

are Actions informations available through v4 GraphQL API? I couldn’t find anything related to GithubActions in docs.

Is this feature planned to be added? If yes, is there any timeline?

Cheers :slight_smile:

Hi @jacek-jablonski,

Thanks for being here! As of now, the GitHub Actions API enables you to manage GitHub Actions only using the REST API. I’ll be sure to pass on your request for v4 support to the team for consideration.

Hi @AndreaGriffiths11 Any update on Actions Api support in V4 ?

[bluedusk]

Hi @AndreaGriffiths11 Is there any plan to add Actions api to V4 ? If some new feature only available in rest api, how should I decide which version to use ? Thanks

[AndreaGriffiths11]

Thanks for the ping @bluedusk Regarding upcoming feature updates or new GitHub products, that’s not something we can speak to here. However, You can check our public roadmap. The best place to submit feature requests and share more details about your use case is through our official product feedback form so that our product team can track your request.

I’m pinging the Actions PM on this post in case they might have any additional input. cc @chrispat

We currently do not have any backlog items to add GraphQL based API for Actions.

Hello guys I just found this ticket from 2 years ago and I wanted to ask if there is any plan for actually doing githubActions support for V4 ?

Hi,

I'm currently tasked with finding a .zip artifact that is created during a GHA job. It's often buried among thousands of other artifacts and it's somewhat wasteful to iterate through pages and pages of API call results to find the specific artifact I'm looking for.

I've used the GraphQL API to perform targeted requests on refs/tags artifacts, and would love to see the same functionality available for actions.

Is there any roadmap for this functionality?

Thanks!

Quite disappointing to find that the GraphQL API still doesn't support Gtihub Actions / workflow data after this amount of time.

Is there any movement for this request ?S
Quite disappointed and surprised that GitHub Action workflow info doesn't available through graphql considering GHA was released in 2018

Surprised to see no GraphQL support for workflow runs. Any recent updates?

Yeah, this is nuts — the disparity between GitHub's REST and GraphQL APIs is really disheartening. The quality issues with the REST API and its schemas led me to trying out the GraphQL API, only to find that entire parts of the API are missing entirely.

In the current github documentation, i see workflow object mentioned (screenshot below) but i am unsure as to how to use it. Has anyone succeeded in using it?

I found this way, but it's not what I want.
I want to query the workflow directly in the repository.

Same here @futugyou . Thanks for sharing though!

They do not really care about making data available except when it comes to your data for their purposes. It's really unfortunate they don't understand how valuable these data can be for the community and, implicitly for them.
