GitHub authentication problem

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 281

Trying to create a custom connector for the GitHub Rest API and having problems with the authentication.
All my attempts for far produced a "bearer" token for the authentication being passed in the header, instead of a "token" token:

Resources in the REST API - GitHub Docs

GitHub requires the token to be prefixed with "token " and not with "bearer ". Is there any way to tweak this?

(tried OAuth with GitHub and generic provider as well as basic auth)

    Hello friend, 
    You had any success with this?
    We want to use Power Automate to create issues in GitHub, but it always requires a user authentication. 
    I don't want to insert a PAT, I wanted to use a GitHub App.

     

    Any ideas?
