Thank you sir, I'm using it in my project and it works well (https://github.com/mmaous/sftp/blob/7c974165a25a34fd415d01637912e2b6b8b642bb/.github/workflows/docker-main.yml#L39)

Thank you for the code, I did some testing and improvements for my use case. Maybe these changes are helpful to anyone as well.

My strategy is to pull as little info (page_size=2) as possible in order to get to the result I am looking for:

curl -sL "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/${DOCKERHUB_REPO}/${DOCKERHUB_IMAGE}/tags/?page_size=2" | \
        jq '.results | .[] | .name' -r | \
        sed '/latest/d' | \
        head -n 1

@Reedef
For official docker images just use ${DOCKERHUB_REPO}=library
E.g.:

curl -sL "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/alpine/tags/?page_size=2" | \ 
        jq '.results | .[] | .name' -r | \
        sed '/latest/d' | \
        head -n 1
