Lookup forge_remote_id by repo path

[tyler71]

Hello, here is what I am trying to do:
Create a repo at GitHub, send an API request to activate that repo at Woodpecker-CI

My expected behavior:

1. Lookup forge_remote_id by full name lookup

GET /api/repos/lookup/user/reponame

2. Activate the repository

POST /repos?forge_remote_id=123

However, /api/repos/lookup/user/reponame returns a 404, unless it's already enabled.

---

Looking at the network requests in the UI, when I try to add a repo, it pulls all repo's for my user.
Is this the only way to do it?

GET /api/user/repos?all=true

GET /api/repos/lookup/user/reponame is only working for activated repos.

Is this the only way to do it?

I think so. I might be possible to get the forge_remote_id directly from github however as it is the id github uses internally

Thanks for the tip, I will look it up independently for now.

  const res = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${user}/${reponame}`, {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
  })
 const resJson = await res.json()
 console.log({forgeId: resJson.id})
