Request

I'm at my wits end to try and get this to work any help would be appreciated. I've tried to preanswer some questions I'd expect from the community at the bottom. Thank you in advance.

Environment

App: Under development GitHub App
Authentication: Oauth Device Flow with Valid Token
Repository: Private GitHub Repo for my Company
OS:: Ventura on M1 Mac

Problem description

Attempting to obtain the latest commit and destructure to obtain the sha for adding a new object to the repository fails with:

Relevant code snippet

Here's the code that is causing the error:

const {data: commits} = await this.octCtl.rest.repos.listCommits({
            owner: 'mediumroast',
            repo: 'mediumroast_mediumroast_app_repo',
            per_page: 1
        })

FAQ

1. Has this worked before?
   1. Yes similar code has worked before to capture the most recent commit and the associated sha.
2. Is authentication working?
   1. Yes the process to authenticate with device flow generates an access token that is valid for 8 hours. Using this token it is possible to read data from the repository.
3. Are the permissions set correctly for the GitHub app to access the repo?
   1. Yes I just reconfirmed that read/write is set for Commits, Commit Statuses and Contents
4. What changed from when it was working and now?
   1. I don't know but nothing that I can see.
5. Have you searched the doc and various parts of the community to attempt to find an answer?
   1. Yes, I've looked at the GitHub community, API documents, StackOverflow, ChatGPT, and I've worked with GitHub Copilot to try alternatives, understand if I'm doing things correctly, etc.

So after some toiling and comparing to other code it appears I wasn't passing in the token correctly. I believe I have this working now and will close the item. Lesson learned to ensure that you have the correct token, orgName, etc.
