How to get github action jobId

Question

I want to get the exact jobId in the job I defined, but I use ${{github.job}} to get the name (deploy job). The exact address is this: https://github.com/xxxxx/my-repo/actions/runs/5888912298/job/15971069222

my code: (https://github.com/${owner}/${repo}/actions/runs/${context.runId}/job/${{github.job}})`

Get the exact jobId

Answer 1

GitHub doesn't official support retrieving Job ID from inside the job at the moment.

But this is available as an api response from: https://api.github.com/repos/$REPOSITORY/actions/runs/$RUN_ID/jobs

So you can have a step like:

job_url="https://api.github.com/repos/$REPOSITORY/actions/runs/$RUN_ID/jobs"
job_id=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token ${{ env.token }}" $job_url | jq -r '.jobs[] | .id')

Notes:

1. You can retrieve the RUN_ID using ${{ github.run_id }}.
2. You need to install jq to be able to parse the JSON response.
