About this tag
The github api tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of GitHub's REST API and related developer tooling, with a focus on how API behavior changes affect automation and reporting. A recurring theme is GitHub Actions workflow-run data: one thread covers GitHub capping workflow-run search totals at 2,500+ for queries filtered by workflow, event, status, branch or actor, rolling out on github.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
