I want to get the job logs of a current workflow from Github Actions through a nodejs backend. I know that Github provides an API, to access informations about a workflow like this:
GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/runs
with a response like this:
{
"total_count": 1,
"workflow_runs": [
{
"id": 30433642,
"node_id": "MDEyOldvcmtmbG93IFJ1bjI2OTI4OQ==",

From this stackoverflow question, I learned that you can get more information about the current build logs via the job_url
, but does this take place in real time? Is there a way to stream the current logs, so i am able to display them on my own webpage?
Background: I want to trigger a workflow with an HTTP request using dispatch-event and after that, i want to display the current job logs on my own UI
