API

Body

I'm trying to trigger a repository_dispatch event using the a python script

headers.update(
    {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
        "Accept": "application/vnd.github+json",
    }
)

payload = {
    "event_type": "test_run",
    "client_payload": data 
}

But it keeps giving me 401 or 403 errors
I used both Bearer and token auth headers and tried changing the API version too, but nothing seems to work.

the token is generated through an Oauth App with repo read:user permission
Also this is my workflow file

on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [test_run]

jobs:
  my_job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Use Webhook Data
        run: |
          echo "User: ${{ github.event.client_payload.user }}"
          echo "Status Gained: ${{ github.event.client_payload.gained }}"
          echo "Data: ${{ github.event.client_payload }}"

Ok, my bad, I missed adding the headers in the request
