Downloading github actions workflow logs using github api

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

If anyone is looking for GitHub Action that can download the workflow logs through schedule or push, here is the GH Action: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-action-logs

As a side note to Madhu Bhat's answer, you can simply add -L to your curl command to make it follow redirects.

(from curl --help)

 -L, --location      Follow redirects
