This action gets a value that persists through GitHub Actions jobs, steps, or workflows.

• Get a hash that you can use for comparison, e.g. to execute some logic if a file hash has changed.
• Get a URL that's required in other steps, jobs, or workflows, e.g. getting a Vercel deployment URL to run a Lighthouse report on.
• Get a boolean value to keep track of whether something was executed or not, e.g. to make sure some logic only runs once.

This action takes the below inputs:

• access_token: Use curl to generate one (or simply visit the URL directly):
  • After generating, add the access token as a GitHub secret for your repo (e.g. PERSISTENT_VALUE_ACCESS_TOKEN).

$ curl https://persistent.aaim.io/api/values/new_access_token?output=plain

• key: An identifier with which you can retrieve the persistent value.
