Question

For some reason, when I try to post githubs api to create a repository, I keep getting a 404 not found. Here’s my code, has anyone else experienced this?

url = "https://api.github.com/users/repo"

headers = {
    "Content-type" : "application/json",
    "Authorization" : "token %s" % self.config['token'],
}

request = urllib2.Request(url, json.dumps(data), headers)

try:
    response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
    # print response
except Exception, e:    
    print e

You have the URL wrong; it’s https://api.github.com/user/repos (user singular, repos plural), see the Repos create documentation.
