List secret scanning alerts
List secret scanning alerts: secrets found in pushes (blocked) and in history (open), newest first, in a repository or (with workspace) across a workspace.
GET
/repos/{owner}/{name}/secret-scanning/alertsFilter by state (open, dismissed, fixed), secret_type, validity (active, inactive, unknown, unsupported) and bypassed. The secret itself is never returned: a preview and a fingerprint-based id only.
| Filter | Values |
|---|---|
state |

secret_type |
aws_access_key, github_token, custom_pattern, … |
validity |
