4. In the Http request activity, click on the Authorization tab.
5. In the Integration field, select the Github option from the list.
6. In the Connection field, select the connection you created from the list.
7. Enter the GitHub API you will be using.

   In the above example, GET https://api.github.com/issues is used to retrieve all issues in the account.

8. Click on the Testing tab to confirm that the connection is set up correctly to call the API.

   The results appear in the Response area of the tab.

   If there is any error, check the details of the error returned and verify that the application added in GitHub has the appropriate scope value to access the called API.
