Not getting data using personal access token within Github

Access Token not working

Question

Hello,
We are trying to get all the data from repos in our organization by using the graphql and the rest api, however even though i have the permissions at the level token to access, when I make the call it does not return any values just empty json like nothing exist, is there any adittional configuration we need to implement in order to be able to pull all the organization data such as repo, pull,commits and workfloews.

Thank you.

Hi juansalazar15,

It seems that your personal access token does not have the correct scope/permissions to fetch the data you are seeking. Some things you can check are:

• Scope: You might want to check that your PAT includes all the necessary permissions like repo to access repositories, workflow, and read:org for organization-level data.

• Check Organization Access Sometimes, even though the token does have sufficient permissions, you want to check whether an organization has granted access for a token. This is more of an issue where your GitHub organization sets up more fine-grained permissions.

• REST vs. GraphQL APIs: If using GraphQL, make sure to structure queries correctly. If receiving an empty response, execute the query in GitHub API Explorer to determine whether the structure needs to be adjusted.

• Rate Limits on API Calls: Sometimes API calls are rate-limited and/or return incomplete data.

Let me know if this helps or if you need more specific advice!

I have checked the permissions and they are ok: project, read:org, read:user, repo, workflow however still not luck to gewt any results.
