Get Copilot usage data as:
Powered by the REST API endpoints for GitHub Copilot usage metrics.
[!TIP] 🚀 Get this running FAST by using the template
Create a workflow (eg: .github/workflows/copilot-usage.yml
). See Creating a Workflow file.
You will need to create a PAT(Personal Access Token) that has the copilot
, manage_billing:copilot
, admin:org
, admin:enterprise
, or manage_billing:enterprise
scope to use this endpoint.
Add this PAT as a secret so we can use it as input github-token
, see Creating encrypted secrets for a repository.
The default behavior is to get the usage for the repository owner which is likely the organization.
[!IMPORTANT]
You need to set the secretTOKEN
in your repository settings.
