  title: API Evangelist enhancements for GitHub Actions Artifacts API
  version: 1.0.1
  x-generated: '2026-09-17'
  x-method: generated
  x-source: >-
    Generated from openapi/github-actions-artifacts-api-openapi.yml plus the artifacts in this repo. Captures the
    runtime semantics the OpenAPI does not express — versioning header, media
    type, rate-limit and request-id headers, token types, the absence of an
    idempotency mechanism, and the reversibility of each write operation. The
    original specification is never mutated.
