404 error during octokit pull request

[abhimehta23]

Hi @gr2m ,

I am using Octokit npm package to retrieve list of pull requests from an Enterprise Github account by passing my personal access token as an auth strategy. For some reason I have been getting 404 message in the status after running await octokit.request('GET /{owner}/{repo}/pulls')

I have confirmed the url returned by the method is also correct and the token setting also include "repo" as enabled but still not luck. Please see message below:

status: 404,
  response: {
    url: 'https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?branch=abhi',
    status: 404,
    headers: {

    },
    data: 'Not Found'
  },
  request: {
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?branch=abhi',
    headers: {
      accept: 'application/vnd.github.v3+json',
      'user-agent': 'octokit.js/1.8.1 octokit-core.js/3.6.0 Node.js/16.14.0 (win32; x64)',
      authorization: 'token [REDACTED]'
    },
    request: { hook: [Function: bound bound register] }
  }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated to figure out why octokit returns 404 despite that I am able to log in from my browser.

Thanks,
Abhi

Hi @abhimehta23! Thanks for reaching out.

From the logs you've shared, it looks like your request is going to https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?branch=abhi - i.e. {owner} and {repo} are not getting replaced with the right values.

Can you share your code so we can help you debug?

updating the baseUrl and get method now I am getting status: 500.

`throw new requestError.RequestError(error.message, 500, {
          ^

@abhimehta23 When you’re viewing your PRs, are you on GitHub.com? Or are you on another website?

If you’re on GitHub.com, can you remove the baseUrl option completely and try the following code?:

octokit.request('GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls', {
        owner: 'Arris-Composites',
        repo: 'RecipeJson',
        branch: 'abhi'
    })

@gr2m @timrogers Now I am getting status 200 and listing all pull requests. I changed base url to baseUrl: 'https://api.github.com' and Get request to 'GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls'

[abhimehta23]

@timrogers removed the baseUrl and I am still getting pull requests. Thank you so much!

[timrogers]

Great! ✨ Glad we could help!

[abhimehta23]

@timrogers quick question - are these API's only applicable for Github or they can be used with GitLab?

[timrogers]

GitHub only! I’m sure that GitLab have their own API though.
