I try to use github api to star a repo： 

curl -X PUT -H "Authorization: token *****************"     https://api.github.com/user/starred/fulldecent/system-bus-radio

but the response is always

{
 "message": "Not Found",
 "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3"
}

And I also try alamofire

Alamofire.request(.PUT, "https://api.github.com/user/starred/"+repoFullName, headers: ["Authorization": "token \(token)"]).responseJSON{ response in
    ......
}

But I still can't get it done

swift curl api github

If you want to use put, you need to give permission to repo scope when authorize.

For example when using oauth github.

Step 1: Create your oauth github app

Step 2: You got client_id, put this source link in your apps for user to oauth from github https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?scope=user:email&client_id=<client_id>&scope=repo Step 3: When callBackUrl, follow this to get access token

https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/basics-of-authentication/#providing-a-callback

Last Step: You can do starring by just passing ?access_token=xxxxxxxxxx
