Workflows - GitHub Enterprise Server 3.5 Docs

Use the REST API to interact with workflows in GitHub Actions.

About workflows in GitHub Actions

You can use the REST API to view workflows for a repository in GitHub Actions. Workflows automate your software development life cycle with a wide range of tools and services. For more information, see "GitHub Actions documentation."

These endpoints are available for authenticated users, OAuth apps, and GitHub Apps. Access tokens require repo scope for private repositories and public_repo scope for public repositories. GitHub Apps must have the actions permission to use these endpoints.
