Unexpected response: 403 about release-downloader HOT 3 CLOSED

@noonchen Unfortunately, this action is not tested against macOS runner yet.
I found an issue reported earlier related to macOS runner here: actions/runner-images#602

It says GitHub rate limits API calls from macOS runner and returns 403. A quick look at the issue gives me the impression that you should provide a token. (it's meaningless for public repos).

Can you try creating a personal access token and add it to the secrets of your repo.

try the following

uses: robinraju/[email protected]
        name: Download latest numpy source
        with: 
          repository: "numpy/numpy"
          latest: true
          zipBall: true
          token: "{{secrets.YOUR_TOKEN_NAME}}"
          out-file-path: "downloads"

I'm not 100 % sure about this, but at least give it a try and let's see how it goes.

Thanks for the info! However, It is a public repo, should I still try it? FYI, This action can eventually pass after 4-5 attempts.

I think it's a glitch on GitHub, where it limits requests from macOS on an hourly/daily basis. Closing this for now as it started working for you.
