[Schema Inaccuracy] Github Actions Creating or Updating repository secrets Rest API Issue | encrypted_value is not allowing all value

[nrv-96]

Powershell Code Which converted from Postman:

`$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic ")
$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

$body = "{
n "encrypted_value": "c2VjcmV50", n "key_id": ""
`n}"

$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/actions/secrets/yfsf' -Method 'PUT' -Headers $headers -Body $body
$response | ConvertTo-Json`

Issue:

encrypted_value is allowing specific types of values : c2VjcmV0 , If I need to add value ( "encrypted_value": "ainsdr-34234vsdf-dfdf") which is getting error message for regex error { "message": "Invalid request.\n\nainsdr-34234vsdf-dfdf does not match /^(?:[A-Za-z0-9+\/]{4})*(?:[A-Za-z0-9+\/]{2}==|[A-Za-z0-9+\/]{3}=|[A-Za-z0-9+\/]{4})$/.", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/actions#create-or-update-a-repository-secret" } instead of store my value.

Expectation :

encrypted_value should be allow any value, This is should be dynamic. I can add any value inside the block of encrypted_value .Also I can provide any value from UI which will be accepted but in rest API it's gives regex error. Please fix the issue.

@NIRAVJ96 Thanks for reaching out! Just to confirm, are you encrypting the value using the instructions at https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/secrets#create-or-update-a-repository-secret? We apply a regular expression in the API because a correct encrypted value must match this format.

@timrogers , thanks for your response, I have seen the details. but can you please help me out for how to apply in Postman? , As I'm newbie here.

I'm not sure that it will be possible to encrypt the value from inside Postman. I think you will need to do the encryption outside (e.g. with the Node.js sample provided) and then copy the output into Postman.
