Hello @yashsehgal,could you explain why we need a personal access token?, we can get all the public info without it.

Hi @jatingodnani - Thanks for checking the project out. Of course the Personal Access Token is optional and is not necessarily required in most of the API calls. Following are the main 2 reasons for including the token,

• We get more number of API calls, as compared to API calls without Personal Access Token. You can read more about it - Rate limits for the REST API
• Another use case is while calling graphQL APIs. In the requests such as fetching pinned repos, etc. The usage of Personal Access Token becomes necessary.

Hope this one is helpful! Thanks for bringing this up 😊
