Using token in the url as a get parameter is deprecated #8

Description

Hi

I used the tool today and it works perfectly. However, right after I received an email from Github:

On January 26th, 2021 at 15:52 (UTC) your personal access token (All access) using NodeJS HTTP Client was used as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

https://api.github.com/search/issues

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the access_token query parameter is deprecated. If this token is being used by an app you don't have control over, be aware that it may stop working as a result of this deprecation.

Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf.
Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.

Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates.
