[GitHub API] Deprecation notice for authentication via URL queryparameters

I get this message after using this awesome script these days.

Using 1.1.2

using this call:

github-changes -o NLog -r NLog.Extensions.Logging  --only-pulls --token <mytoken>  --use-commit-body --file changelog.md -b master --date-format '(YYYY/MM/DD)'

Hi @304NotModified,

On December 29th, 2020 at 00:59 (UTC) your personal access token (changes2) using NodeJS HTTP Client was used as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

https://api.github.com/repositories/49987133/tags

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the access_token query parameter is deprecated. If this token is being used by an app you don’t have control over, be aware that it may stop working as a result of this deprecation.

Depending on your API usage, we’ll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf. Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.

Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates.

Thanks, The GitHub Team

Is there some plan to change to the Authorization header?

2.0.1 works like a charm, no warning no nothing 😃 I uninstalled @octokit/core before installing 2.0.1 and it worked nonetheless. Thanks a million @lalitkapoor!

I’m almost sure this is due to the github-changes using very outdated dependency github at version 0.1.16. Latest version of github is 14.0.0, and even that is deprecated and moved to @octokit/rest (latest version being 18.0.12).
