Hi, we need to download repos as .zip, we have public and private ones. The public ones are worikg, as soon as we switch to a private one with a token, the http result shows always 404 "not found".

Token settings
Repo Access: All repositories
Type: Fine-grinded tokens
Permissions: Contents , Meta (both "Read-Only")`

Snippet for public repo
string owner = "owner";
string repo = "repoName";
string releaseTagName = "release";
string accessToken = string.Empty;

using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(accessToken))
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"token {accessToken}");
}
// Get the URL for the .zip file of the release
string zipUrl = $"https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/archive/refs/tags/{releaseTagName}.zip";
// Download the .zip file
HttpResponseMessage zipResponse = await client.GetAsync(zipUrl);

if (zipResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    byte[] zipBytes = await zipResponse.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
    string zipFileName = $"{owner}_{repo}_{releaseTagName}.zip";

    // Save the .zip file
    String Path = @"C:\temp\experimental\" + zipFileName;
    System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(Path, zipBytes);
    Console.WriteLine($"Downloaded {zipFileName}");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Failed to download .zip file: {zipResponse.ReasonPhrase}");
}

}
`

Thank you!

Recognized when I use the classic token setup it works. Seems something with the Fine-grinded token is not working..
