archive-bot

A GitHub Action that checks for archived or inaccessible repositories in dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps.

Overview

This bot helps keep the open-source-ios-apps list accurate by identifying GitHub repositories that have been archived or are no longer available. It scans the list’s content.json, skips entries already tagged "archive", and checks the rest via the GitHub API. The results are written to this repo’s README.md for easy review.

How It Works

1. Fetches the Source List
   The bot downloads the latest content.json file from the dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps repository.

2. Filters Out Archived Entries
   Projects already tagged with "archive" in the JSON are excluded from further processing. This avoids unnecessary checks.

3. Validates Repository Status
   For each remaining project, the bot uses the GitHub API to verify whether the repository:

   • Still exists
   • Has been archived
   • Returns a 404 (Not Found)
   • Returns a 403 (Forbidden — possibly due to rate limiting)

4. Generates a Markdown Table
   Repositories identified as archived or inaccessible are listed in a table under the Repository Archive Status section in this README.md file.

5. Updates Timestamps

   • A Last Checked timestamp (when the scan ran)
   • A Last Updated timestamp (if the table was modified)
