gist cards fail to generate 😢

GH Action:

name: Update github-readme-stats cards

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 9 * * *"
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@34e114876b0b11c390a56381ad16ebd13914f8d5 # v4.3.1

      # Generate gist cards
      - name: Generate gist card
        uses: readme-tools/github-readme-stats-action@b4d2ef3b8051484b318d455163153b23a2b35fa2 # v1.1.0
        with:
          card: gist
          options: username=${{ github.repository_owner }}&id=<PUBLIC_GIST_ID>&show_owner=false
          path: github-readme-stats-action/gist_<PUBLIC_GIST_ID>.svg
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      # Commit and push changes
      - name: Commit cards
        run: |
          git config user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
          git add github-readme-stats-action/*.svg
          git commit -m "Update github-readme-stats-action cards" || exit 0
          git push

Result:

Other types of cards are generated without any issue.
Is this a correct place or should I report via https://github.com/readme-tools/github-readme-stats?

PS: the username=${{ github.repository_owner }} is provided to action as it throws this annotation w/o it

username not provided; defaulting to repository owner.

The result renders fail no matter whether username=${{ github.repository_owner }} is added or removed.

Hi @yermulnik, thanks for reporting this problem! For gists to work you need to provide a Personal Access Token with access to gists. I have updated the README accordingly in #13. With this setup, does it work for you?

That worked. Thank you ❤️
