I'm sort of new to REST..
For full disclosure, I'm running this code inside of a Netlify Lambda function and testing via netlify-lambda.
My curl mand works:
curl -u "<username>:<password>" /<username>/<reponame>
But when I attempt a get request via axios I'm getting a 404 (which according to github docs implies an auth issue). This is what I'm doing (also doesn't work without the custom headers, I've just been trying random things).
axios({
method: "get",
url: `/${user}/<reponame>/`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${githubToken}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
auth: {
username: user,
password: pass
}
})
.then(res => {
callback(null, {
statusCode: 200,
body: JSON.stringify(res.data)
});
})
.catch(err => {
callback(err);
});
One thing I noticed was that it seems axios was taking my username and password and prepending them to the url i.g. https://<username>:<password>@api.github/repos/<username>/<reponame>
Is this how auth should be sent over?

Is this a copy/paste error in the Axios example?:
url:
api.github./repos/${user}/<reponame>/,
. If not, you are substituting${user}
but leaving<reponame>
as literal text (which would be a 404 error for sure). – Henry Mueller Commented Apr 29, 2019 at 5:12 - No, I have a variable for my github user and pass and I'm simply omitting my personal repo name – Esten Commented Apr 29, 2019 at 13:45
- @1556089774 I'm not sure what you are asking – Esten Commented Apr 29, 2019 at 18:19
- I know you're saying that it fails with or without the custom headers but sending an Authorization header while using axios basic auth seems suspect. – Sam Alpher Commented Apr 29, 2019 at 19:43

Reset to default 4I shouldn't have had a trailing forward slash at the end of my URL.
If you already have a token you don’t need user/pass, just add the token to the header.
