Authentication

GitHub personal access token (fine-grained or classic) bearer discovered Get token ↗

Create a personal access token from GitHub account settings using Managing your personal access tokens. GitHub recommends a fine-grained PAT when possible. Choose the repository permissions or classic scopes your integration needs; for public-repo-only GraphQL access, docs note fine-grained PATs include read access to public repositories, while classic PATs need the public_repo scope.

GitHub OAuth app client credentials and user access tokens oauth2 discovered Set up OAuth ↗

Create an OAuth app in GitHub settings using Creating an OAuth app. Configure the callback URL, then authorize the app with a user via the web or device flow as described in GitHub's OAuth docs to obtain an access token. For some app-management REST endpoints, GitHub docs say to use the app's client_id and client_secret with HTTP Basic auth.
