    Use this data source to retrieve information about a GitHub release asset.

    Example Usage

    To retrieve a specific release asset from a repository based on its ID:

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as github from "@pulumi/github";

const example = github.getReleaseAsset({
    repository: "example-repository",
    owner: "example-owner",
    assetId: 12345,
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_github as github

example = github.get_release_asset(repository="example-repository",
    owner="example-owner",
    asset_id=12345)

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-github/sdk/v6/go/github"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := github.LookupReleaseAsset(ctx, &github.LookupReleaseAssetArgs{
			Repository: "example-repository",
			Owner:      "example-owner",
			AssetId:    12345,
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Github = Pulumi.Github;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = Github.GetReleaseAsset.Invoke(new()
    {
        Repository = "example-repository",
        Owner = "example-owner",
        AssetId = 12345,
    });

    Using getReleaseAsset

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getReleaseAsset(args: GetReleaseAssetArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetReleaseAssetResult>
function getReleaseAssetOutput(args: GetReleaseAssetOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetReleaseAssetResult>

                      repository: Optional[str] = None,

    func LookupReleaseAsset(ctx *Context, args *LookupReleaseAssetArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupReleaseAssetResult, error)
