通过GitHub REST API在github上创建Fork仓库

Question

How could I make request through GitHub REST API? I have id, generated secret and toket with access to repository, but HOW to make request (correct url or so on) to Fork selected repository?

What I did:

const forkRepository = await fetch("https://api.github.com/repos/dd/controlp5/forks", {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 2733364296c2b40e2c4088cade1ffc9cc758dbf8,
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            }
        });
        return forkRepository;

And I took this

Response {type: "cors", url: "https://api.github.com/repos/dd/controlp5/forks", redirected: false, status: 401, ok: false, …}
body: ReadableStream
locked: (...)
__proto__: Object
bodyUsed: false
headers: Headers
__proto__: Headers
ok: false
redirected: false
status: 401
statusText: "Unauthorized"
type: "cors"
url: "https://api.github.com/repos/dd/controlp5/forks"
__proto__: Response

And the last what i need understand, what token I need to use and how could I take it? Because my acces token doesn't work to fork.

URI to fork a repository:

POST https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/forks

:owner replaces the owner and :repo the Repository name.

For example, here's a repository forking germanysources/FOSSwareSearch :

POST https://api.github.com/repos/germanysources/FOSSwareSearch/forks

The github documentation can be found at: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/forks/
