  1. Exchange the code from the previous step for a user access token by making a POST request to this URL, along with the following query parameters: {% data variables.product.oauth_host_code %}/login/oauth/access_token
    Query parameter Type Description
    client_id string Required. The client ID for your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. The client ID is different from the app ID. You can find the client ID on the settings page for your app.

    For user-owned apps, the settings page is https://github.com/settings/apps/APP-SLUG.

    For organization-owned apps, the settings page is https://github.com/organizations/ORGANIZATION/settings/apps/APP-SLUG.

    Replace APP-SLUG with the slugified name of your app and ORGANIZATION with the slugified name of your organization. For example, https://github.com/organizations/octo-org/settings/apps/octo-app.
    client_secret string Required. The client secret for your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. You can generate a client secret on the settings page for your app.
    code string Required. The code you received in the previous step.
    redirect_uri string The URL in your application where users will be sent after authorization. This must be an exact match to one of the URLs you provided as a "Callback URL" when setting up your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} and can't contain any additional parameters.
    repository_id string The ID of a single repository that the user access token can access. If the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} or user cannot access the repository, this will be ignored. Use this parameter to restrict the access of the user access token further.
