OAuth code, not GitHub API key: http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/

And you'll need proper scopes: http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes

Is the OAuth code the client ID or secret? Or am I completely confused (likely!) Also, where should I configure the scopes?

[assaf]

You need to go through step one to get a code, then step two to exchange it for a token. Client ID/secret will be used in those two steps, but are separate thing.

You'll need repo scope to access any private repository. I don't know if you need any other scope to access public repositories. You can also just get one access token with all scopes and reuse it for other scripts (what I did).

[dannymcc]

Should I be going through these steps on the GitHub OAuth page, or using console or something. I'm completely confused. Feel free to give up on me!

[assaf]

You can get it done using a static HTML page and curl, but it's a very frustrating experience. I asked, maybe Github would build a simple authentication app for Hubot to make it easy.

We have some branches floating around github that make this easier. Closing until we announce it though.

Just for other people that need this, you can create an oauth token without and application from this article: https://github.com/blog/977-access-your-event-timelines-and-oauth-tokens-through-the-api
