Hi,

We’re currently using AWX 6.1.0.0 with github social oauth. We have been receiving emails lately from github saying our ‘AWX application is using an access token (with the User-Agent python-requests/2.15.1) as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API.  
Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated.’

Any pointers on how to workaround this issue.

Thanks,  
SK

Hello,

You probably need to upgrade your AWX to get this change from earlier this year:
