How to authenticate user in github api?

Question

PHP

Hello!
Created an application in Github Apps.
A user from my site can connect via Github.
At the same time, I get the following data:
- token
- refreshToken
- expiresIn
- id
- nickname
- name
- email
- avatar
- and many more in the user parameter

I need to be able to add (for example) a new issue on behalf of the user, this requires user authentication .

I use this library: php-github-api authentification

I tried to authenticate like this:

$client->authenticate($user->github_token, null, Client::AUTH_CLIENT_ID);

does not work.

How can I authenticate it?

Answer 1

This is how it happened:

$client->authenticate($user->github_token, Client::AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN);

Only tokens expire after 8 hours and need to be refreshed using refresh_token
