Received a... few "...using the access_token query parameter is deprecated." emails today

[jpartain89]

I had received a few emails from Github today, all saying the same thing, pointing to my syncing gist file...

Hi @jpartain89,

On February 4th, 2020 at 03:26 (UTC) your personal access token (Atom Syncing) using NodeJS HTTP Client was used as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

api.github.com/gists/###hidden_because_i_said_so###

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the access_token query parameter is deprecated.

Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder once every 3 days for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf.
Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.

Visit developer.github.com/changes/2019-11-05-deprecated-passwords-and-authorizations-api/#authenticating-using-query-parameters for more information.

Thanks,
The GitHub Team

Any plan/word on updating this?

Thanks.

Is there an update available that will resolve this? I just got this error message today and Atom doesn't say there is an update for Sync Settings available for download.

There's a pull request (#464) that supposedly resolves this but there's apparently no one maintaining the package to accept it.

@BinaryMuse @50Wliu @basarat
Could we get a statement or decision about the future of this package/repo?

And a few other things judging by the line count...

[UziTech]

The release that fixes this should be available 🎉

The release that fixes this should be available

Doesn't appear to be; at the time of writing https://atom.io/releases shows the most recent release as v1.43.0 (2020-01-14)

@pauljherring Those are the releases of Atom itself, not of this package. You can see that version 2.0.0 has been released here. You can update it directly in Atom by going to settings and looking for available updates for your installed packages.

@UziTech I just tested it and the issue has been resolved on my side. Thank you so much for the fix and for stepping up to become a maintainer of this package, that's really appreciated.

Doh! I'm sorry.

I am still receiving emails from GitHub with this notice.

@al-yakubovich have you installed the latest version?
