About this tag
The github rest api tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of GitHub's programmatic interfaces and how changes to them affect scripts, dashboards, and automation. A recent example covers GitHub Actions removing expired artifacts from the REST API and run summaries, noting that the list artifacts and get an artifact endpoints no longer return expired records.
