PLEASE help us help you by writing a good post!
- we need to know your netlify site name. Example:
gifted-antelope-58b104.netlify.app - DNS issues? Tell us the custom domain, tell us the error message! We can’t help if we don’t know your domain.
- Build problems? Link or paste the FULL build log & build settings screenshot
The better the post - the faster the answer.
I am creating a website using the API and linking a Github repo at the same time. Here’s the payload I am sending
data = {
"name": name,
"repo": {
"branch": "master",
"private": True,
"provider": "github",
"repo": f"my_github_account/my_repo_name",
}
}
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer the_actual_netlify_token"}
response = requests.post("https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/sites", headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.status_code)
# HTTP 201
print(response.json())
Here’s the response I get

As you can see the site is created successfully. However when I look at deploys, it gives out this error
