DEPRECATEDDeprecation Notice: GitHub Enterprise Server will discontinue the OAuth Authorizations API, which is used by integrations to create personal access tokens and OAuth tokens, and you must now create these tokens using our web application flow. The OAuth Authorizations API will be removed on November, 13, 2020. For more information, including scheduled brownouts, see the blog post.
Warning: Apps must use the web application flow to obtain OAuth tokens that work with GitHub Enterprise Server SAML organizations. OAuth tokens created using the Authorizations API will be unable to access GitHub Enterprise Server SAML organizations. For more information, see the blog post.
Creates OAuth tokens using Basic Authentication. If you have two-factor authentication setup, Basic Authentication for this endpoint requires that you use a one-time password (OTP) and your username and password instead of tokens. For more information, see “Working with two-factor authentication.”
To create tokens for a particular OAuth application using this endpoint, you must authenticate as the user you want to create an authorization for and provide the app’s client ID and secret, found on your OAuth application’s settings page. If your OAuth application intends to create multiple tokens for one user, use fingerprint to differentiate between them.
You can also create tokens on GitHub Enterprise Server from the personal access tokens settings page. Read more about these tokens in the GitHub Help documentation.
Organizations that enforce SAML SSO require personal access tokens to be allowed. Read more about allowing tokens in the GitHub Help documentation.

Creates a new authorization for the specified OAuth application, only if an authorization for that application doesn’t already exist for the user. The URL includes the 20 character client ID for the OAuth app that is requesting the token. It returns the user’s existing authorization for the application if one is present. Otherwise, it creates and returns a new one.
