query parameters

Hi @kevin1024,

On February 4th, 2020 at 19:26 (UTC) your personal access token
(backup script) using nodejs was used as part of a query parameter to
access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

https://api.github.com/repositories/23930831/tarball/master

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the
`access_token` query parameter is deprecated.

Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder
once every 3 days 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/2019-11-05-deprecated-passwords-and-authorizations-api/#authenticating-using-query-parameters
for more information.

Thanks,
The GitHub Team
