Exclude Directories from a Scheduled Github Action - github-actions

Question

I am creating a github action to run on a schedule. The purpose of the action is to pull my pypi package pip install alphavantage_api_client then run python app.py to verify my published package is working correctly. To make this work, I need to exclude the internal client source code with something like paths-ignore but it's not working. How do I exclude a directory within a github action? Here is my github action config:
name: Daily End to End Tests with Alphavantage API PyPi
on:
schedule:
- cron: "0 */12 * * *"
paths-ignore:
- alphvantage_api_client
permissions:
contents: read
env:
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY: "${{ secrets.ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY }}"
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 20
environment:
name: "Daily End to End Tests"
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Set up Python 3.10
uses: actions/setup-python#v3
with:
python-version: "3.10"
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install alphavantage_api_client
python app.py
The error i get from the above is a syntax error with the paths-ignore, so i can see there is a problem.
I've referenced the documentation here
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-excluding-paths=
but i don't see a way to exclude paths for a scheduled action. Can someone point me in the right direction?
