Authentication will be made via access token.
To generate your personal access token visit https://github.com/settings/tokens.
NOTE:
Never hardcode any credential information in the code. Always use an environment
file to store the private information and use the `os` module to get the information
during runtime.
Create a ".env" file in the root directory and write these two lines in that file
with your token::
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export USER_TOKEN=""
"""
import os
from typing import Any, Dict
import requests
BASE_URL = "https://api.github.com"
# https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/users#get-the-authenticated-user
AUTHENTICATED_USER_ENDPOINT = BASE_URL + "/user"
# https://github.com/settings/tokens
USER_TOKEN = os.environ.get("USER_TOKEN", "")
