GitHub Authorization API

The GitHub Authorization (OAuth Authorizations) API historically let you programmatically create, list, inspect, and revoke access tokens for a user or OAuth applicationsetting scopes, verifying token validity, rotating or deleting tokens, and generally managing what an app could do on a users behalf. It was commonly used with basic authentication (and 2FA) to mint personal access tokens and to manage OAuth app grants. For security reasons, these endpoints have been deprecated and disabled on GitHub.com; today, apps should use modern authorization flows (OAuth web or device flow) or GitHub Apps with finegrained permissions, and manage personal access tokens via the web UI or the current OAuth application endpoints for token verification and revocation.
