is it possible to get the content of a pom.xml file from github api?

Question

i want to read the content of the pom.xml file because I need the artifactId and groupId. I am running a script that loops through a bunch of GitHub repos, and I don't want to have to clone all the repos and read the pom.xml that way.

Yes, it is possible. Assuming you using the GraphQL API, here is the snippet which can help you do that

repositories(first: 100, after:$after) {
        totalCount
        nodes {
          name
          url
          pom: object(expression: "master:pom.xml") {             
            ... on Blob {
                text
            }
        }
    }
