How do I send a OAuth key to Github's REST API?

I simply want to send an OAuth key to GitHub’s REST API, but I’m not sure how it would do it. Here’s what I have tried, but judging by the fact x-ratelimit-limit is still 60, it does not work:

print(
	game:GetService("HttpService"):RequestAsync(
	{
		Url = "https://api.github.com/repos/BedrockLauncher/BedrockLauncher.Github.io/releases",
		Headers = {
			token = "ghp_16C7e42F292c6912E7710c838347Ae178B4a"
		}
	}
	).Headers
)

Result:

    ["x-ratelimit-limit"] = "60", -- should be 5000 if github accepted my OAuth key
    ["x-ratelimit-remaining"] = "59",
    ["x-ratelimit-reset"] = "1627323497",

Do note that the OAuth key “ghp_16C7e42F292c6912E7710c838347Ae178B4a” in this post is not real, but I am using a real one locally (I don’t wanna give your mine).

Whoops, I found the solution to my own question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used the Authorization header correctly to make this work

print(
	game:GetService("HttpService"):RequestAsync(
	{
		Url = "https://api.github.com/repos/BedrockLauncher/BedrockLauncher.Github.io/releases",
		Headers = {
			Authorization = "token ghp_16C7e42F292c6912E7710c838347Ae178B4a"
		}
	}
	).Headers
)

Result:

    ["x-ratelimit-limit"] = "5000",
    ["x-ratelimit-remaining"] = "4957",
    ["x-ratelimit-reset"] = "1627320983",
