Body

Hi I am trying to read a .csv file from repository in R. I have it set up as read.csv("myrawdatalink"). The issue is that there is a token included in my raw data link that keeps changing, so if I want to run my code tomorrow, it won't work and I get this error message:

Warning: cannot open URL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmac2000/Regen/main/Data/Site.csv?token=GHSAT0AAAAAACPN4GFQ3O2WLKGUOTTPFUNKZQB5OTA': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'Error in file(file, "rt") :
cannot open the connection to 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmac2000/Regen/main/Data/Site.csv?token=GHSAT0AAAAAACPN4GFQ3O2WLKGUOTTPFUNKZQB5OTA'

What is the best way for me to work around this? Is there a way for me to change my file sharing settings or something?

Any help would be appreciated!

It seems like it doesn't work because your repo is private, making it public should solve the issue. You can do it by opening your repo on GitHub and then Settings, scrolling down to Danger Zone and you'll have the Change visibility setting

If you can't for any reason download the file and access it locally or use another service for storing the file with a permanent token would be the way to go
