How to Unlocking GitHub REST API Limit With Personal Access Token?

REST API limit Issue With PAT

Question

Body

GitHub provides a way to boost your API request limit to a whopping 5000 requests per hour when you use your Personal Access Token (PAT).

But when I try to download my student pull request comment who puts on assignment, it show me the error of API Limit. I try to access using my PAT.

user header={'Authorization'='PAT'}

I am able to perform 60 request per hour. I have large amount of repo, then it takes long time to download.

Please guide me.

the format of the Authorization header record is
"Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN"

See #authentication

Thank you Hugh Byrne,

it means i have to add "Bearer" before my token.?

[byrneh]

Yes, in the format shown,
Although it equally accepts the word Token or token in place of the word Bearer.

You solve my problem.
