I tried to create a comment using GitHub HTTP API and I got the following response with 403 Forbidden: The repository is not private but public, and the request was authenticated through a personal access token. (The response indeed contained X-RateLimit-Limit: 5000 header, an evidence that implies the request was properly authenticated.) What’s wrong with my use of GitHub API? Why does it requires admin rights to merely leave some comments? |

Solved — It was because the personal access token didn’t have not enough scope (public_repo). |
