Documented steps Call GET https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/secrets with Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> and Accept: application/vnd.github+json. The response contains total_count and a secrets array, each item having name, created_at, and updated_at. Paginate with per_page (max 100) and page query parameters when the count exceeds one page. To inspect a single secret, GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/secrets/{secret_name} to confirm existence and last-updated time. Also list org secrets shared into the repo at GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/organization-secrets to see the effective union a workflow sees. Known gotchas Secret values are never returned — this endpoint only exposes names and timestamps, by design. updated_at changes on every masked re-set, so it is a poor proxy for 'the value changed'. The /actions/organization-secrets list shows secrets inherited from the org, which can shadow or be shadowed by repo-level names.
