Load used actions from an entire organization, by calling the REST API with a Personal Access Token and loop through all workflows in all repositories in the user account or organization.

The output is stored with the name actions, which can be retrieved in another action with ${{ steps.<step id>.outputs.actions }}.

actions: a compressed json string with all the actions used in the workflows in the organization. The json is in the format:

[
    "actionLink": "actions/checkout",
    "count": 50,
    "workflows": [
        {
            "repo": "rajbos/actions-marketplace",
            "workflowFileName: "build-image.yml"
        },
        { etc }
    ]
]

Properties:

The workflow object has the following properties:

Minimal uses expression to use this action:

uses: rajbos/github-action-load-used-actions@main`
with: 
    PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Note: the default GITHUB_TOKEN might only have read access to the current repository, depending on the setup. Create a new token with repo scope to have full read-only access to the organization and use that as a parameter.
-[ ] todo: check the scope and update above if needed

This example shows how to use the action to get a json file with all the used actions in an organization. The json file is uploaded as an artefact in the third step.

jobs:
  load-all-used-actions:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - uses: rajbos/github-action-load-used-actions@main
        name: Load used actions
        with: 
          PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        id: load-actions

      - shell: pwsh        
        name: Store json file
        run: |         
         $content = ${{ steps.load-actions.outputs.actions }}
