🔴 (10:15) For GitHub’s events_url URI template, replace {/privacy} with /public to retrieve only public events; omit {/privacy} to retrieve public events plus private events when authenticated as that user.

🔴 (10:15) GitHub REST endpoint GET /user returns the authenticated user; OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need read:user or broader user scope for the private-user response, while tokens without those scopes receive the public-user response. Status codes: 200, 304, 401, and 403.

🔴 (10:15) GitHub REST endpoint PATCH /user updates authenticated-user fields name, email, blog, twitter_username, company, location, hireable, and bio; a private email remains hidden even if supplied. Status codes: 200, 304, 401, 403, 404, and 422.

🔴 (10:15) GitHub REST endpoint GET /user/{account_id} retrieves publicly available account information by durable numeric user ID rather than mutable login. Enterprise Managed Users and relevant GitHub App bots require organization access or return 404; documented status codes are 200 and 404.

🔴 (10:15) GitHub REST endpoint GET /users lists personal and organization accounts in signup order. Pagination uses since exclusively; since returns IDs greater than the supplied user ID, and per_page defaults to 30 with maximum 100. Status codes: 200 and 304.

🔴 (10:15) GitHub REST endpoint GET /users/{username} provides publicly available user information. For a private profile, followers and following are 0 unless authenticated as that user; Enterprise Managed User access restrictions can produce 404. Status codes: 200 and 404.

Optional subject_type values are organization, repository, issue, and pull_request; subject_type and subject_id require each other. OAuth app tokens and classic personal access tokens need repo scope. Status codes: 200, 404, and 422.
