Fine-grained personal access token - 403Forbidden for delete-an-issue-reaction

[martinf83]

Hi guys, I was trying to use the new fine-grained personal access tokens for use this endpoint, in the documentation says that can be executed with the new grained personal access tokens, but when I call it using postman I receiving 403Forbidden, when I try it with the common token works fine. Any idea what is happening? Thanks!

You just published a pretty large part of your token, so you should probably recreate it. 😅

The key question here is: What permissions does the token have? The right repository, read/write permission for issues, etc.?

Thanks @airtower-luna, yes the token is expired,

I gave permission to the repository for Issues and Discussions but also I tried giving all the permission but still it doesn't work.

The request in postman seems to be fine for you? Thanks!

Looks reasonable to me as far as I can see.

Another thing to consider: The blog post about the fine-grained PAT beta mentions that there are a few cases where they can't be used that. With the post not going very deep into details and me not knowing what exactly you're doing it's hard to guess if any of those exceptions apply. 😅

if you are into it, you can make it smaller and smaller from time to time, to pin down what's causing that error

Thanks guys, the repository to which I want to delete the reaction is a fork of a private repository and what I am trying to do is delete a reaction of mine to a pr, the strange thing is that with the tokens (classic) it works fine.
