organizations_url response does not include new orgs

Question

I was recently added to an org and I can see that I am a member by clicking https://github.com/settings/organizations

But when I am making request to https://api.github.com/users/{my_user_name}/orgs the response does not show that organization.

Why are api response and settings page different and how can I get api response to actually show the same info as settings?

You can use another API: "Check organization membership for a user"

GET /orgs/:org/members/:username

You will want to see a 204 return code.

That is safer than a /users/{username}/orgs end point which does not exist (it does only appear in answers to /users/{username} API queries)
