What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Under the parameters section for PUT /orgs/{org}/actions/secrets/{secret_name} the selected_repository_ids parameter says the list should be an "array of strings". However, if you send the repository ID as a string value like the following payload:

{
   "encrypted_value":"MyEncryptedString",
   "key_id":"MyKeyId",
   "visibility":"selected",
   "selected_repository_ids":[
      "12345"
   ]
}

The API returns a 422 error with the following content:

{
   "message":"Invalid request.\n\nFor 'items', \"12345\" is not an integer.",
   "documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/actions#create-or-update-an-organization-secret"
}

If you instead send an array of integers, the API call succeeds.

Based on this information the following line should be changed in the documentation:

selected_repository_ids | array of strings integers
