1

Create an integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> GitHub App.
2

Authorize GitHub App

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to GitHub. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.
3

Call the GitHub API

Let’s make your first request to the GitHub API (lists all public repositories in the order that they were created). Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:
  • cURL
  • Node
curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/repositories" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.
✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
Next step: Embed the auth flow in your app to let your users connect their GitHub accounts.
