Input required and not supplied

What this error means

An action needed a value, usually from a repository secret, and got nothing: the secret is missing, misspelled, or not available to this workflow.

Why it happens

An action declared a required input and the workflow passed an empty value. That usually means a repository secret is missing, misspelled, or unavailable to this workflow.

The message tools print

Error: Input required and not supplied: api-key

How to fix it

1. Check that the secret name in Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions matches the workflow exactly.
2. Secrets aren’t passed to workflows triggered from forks.
