# GitHub Actions Spider

![Tool icon](https://tools.karlquinsland.com/tools/html/github-actions-spider/images/tool-image.webp)

Paste a GitHub URL (workflow file, repo, or user/org) and scan workflows for `uses` steps.
This tool crawls repos, extracts jobs + steps, and makes it easy to search or export the results.

[Open the tool](https://tools.karlquinsland.com/tools/html/github-actions-spider/tool.html).

## Personal access tokens (PATs)

GitHub's API is rate limited. If you hit limits or need access to private repos, provide a PAT.
The tool stores the token in `localStorage` on your device and sends it only to GitHub.

Basic steps to create a PAT:

1. Open GitHub settings → Developer settings → [Personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens).
2. Create a token with the minimum scopes you need (for public repos, `public_repo` is enough; for private repos, include `repo`).
3. Copy the token once and paste it into the tool's PAT field, then click “Save token”.

Use the “Clear token” button in the tool to remove it from `localStorage`.
