Why will this work as a GET request and not a POST request ?

Thank you @TG1999 for spending your time on my PR and spotting this. You are absolutely right. This should work as a POST request. I should have passed method='POST' .
I'll update _get_gh_response() accordingly to ensure it sends a proper POST request
