Downloading GitHub Actions workflow logs using GitHub api

I am trying to download the logs of a particular workflow in GitHub. I have referenced the following link for the same. However I am getting 302 as response code. Not sure what the issue here is. Its not downloading logs as expected

 curl -v -u username:$token -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/ORGANIZATION/REPOSITORY/actions/runs/319282523477/logs
.
.
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:47:13 GMT

Solution

  • As per the same documentation that you mentioned:

    Gets a redirect URL to download a plain text file of logs for a workflow job. This link expires after 1 minute. Look for Location: in the response header to find the URL for the download

    Response Status: 302 Found

    So you might have already got the url to download the logs as the response has a 302 http status. Please check for the Location: response header, which should give you the url that you need to download the logs.
