Commit file in github api using program in sas studio

I have come across a method where we get the sha code when we hit the github url but once i have done the get request and have the tree code as well as the shacode. Once i perform the post operation i am getting 404 as the error can you help regarding this. i have achieved the same using rest api but want to do the same using sas studio program that i have created .

Before we look at anything else, I want to make you and other readers aware of this - in SAS 9.4 Maint 6, a new set of Git functions were introduced in the SAS programming language. 

Read all about them in the doc.  These might make your tasks easier to accomplish with less code.

The 404 error is "Not Found", and usually the simplest explanation is that the API call you've made isn't valid.  Your program that you shared has placeholders for "repository" and "user" (assuming you would use your own username and a valid repository name), so check those first.  I assume this is the API you're trying to use?

Chris i am using my user and repository names but i didnt specify it here just replaced those things here and yes the link that you have shared i am using the same approach but i am getting message not found although the two get request i have done i get the tree code and if i use it in rest client it is working fine.So problem is mainly with post method.Let me know if you need more info

Just to add i am using sas studio as the platform

[ChrisHemedinger]

The 404 error still indicates that the API, as you're calling it in SAS, doesn't exist -- maybe something is just a little bit off.  If it works in another REST client like Postman or cURL, then it should work in SAS as well.

I suggest adding the DEBUG statement to your PROC HTTP call and maybe you'll get more information about what you're sending/receiving.

Just to add an update: there are new Git functions in Base SAS, and experimental Git integration directly in SAS Studio.  Read about these updates here: Using built-in Git operations in SAS.
