Request forbidden while accessing github api on node.js program

Question

I\'m trying to run this code but getting this error:

Request forbidden by administrative rules, make sure your request has a User-Agent header

Answer 1

Your options object does not have the headers option, describing the user-agent. Try this:

var options = {
    host: 'api.github.com',
    path: '/users/' + username + '/repos',
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {'user-agent': 'node.js'}
};
