Get Copilot usage data as:
- Md Job Summary
- CSV
- XML
- JSON
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 manage_billing:copilot, read:org, or read:enterprise scopes 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 secret TOKEN in your repository settings.
