Find all github repositories based on a specific keyword - github-api

Question

I am trying to find all repos based on a keyword 'TERRAGRUNT_VERSION' using github search api and its returning the below error. Am I missing something in the url?
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/search#search-repositories
raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 3 column 1 (char 2)
Code:
import requests
token = "access_token=" + "23456789087"
base_api_url = 'https://api.github.com/'
search_final_url = base_api_url + 'search/repositories?q=TERRAGRUNT_VERSIONin:env/Makefile' + '&' + token
try:
response = requests.get(search_final_url).json()
for item in response['items']:
repo_name = item['name']
print(repo_name)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
The issue is I'm getting a 400 response.
I tried the below
response = requests.get("https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=TERRAGRUNT_VERSIONin:env/Makefile&access_token=456744")
print(response)
Output:
<Response [400]>
{'message': 'Must specify access token via Authorization header. https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param', 'documentation_url': 'https://docs.github.com/v3/#oauth2-token-sent-in-a-header'}

Answer 1

In short, you have to pass access_token not as the url param but through the request header
If you try to search your link with browser, you would get the answer
{
"message": "Must specify access token via Authorization header. https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param",
"documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/v3/#oauth2-token-sent-in-a-header"
}
