Deprecating OAuth Authorization API | GitHub Developer Guide

Deprecating OAuth Authorization API

As mentioned in this previous blog post, GitHub has deprecated the OAuth authorization endpoints and recommends that integrators switch to the web application flow to generate access tokens.

Since the OAuth Authorization API requires password authentication, this API will not work once password authentication has been deprecated.

This deprecation has not been applied to GitHub Enterprise offerings, yet. Though, we still recommend GHES customers to make the changes in their applications, if possible. Please check the latest Enterprise release notes to learn when deprecation is initiated and on which GHES version OAuth Authorization API will be removed.

Deprecation timeline Removal date

Then you must switch to the web application flow to generate access tokens.
