I use Postman to Create a gist and I added bearer token in the authorization Tab but it suppose to create a gist and return 201 Created instead it returns 200 OK and it doesn't create anything enter image description here
I have written in the request body the example mentioned at GitHub Docs to create a Gist
{
"description": "Hello World Examples",
"public": true,
"files": {
"hello_world.rb": {
"content": "class HelloWorld\n def initialize(name)\n @name = name.capitalize\n end\n def sayHi\n puts \"Hello !\"\n end\nend\n\nhello = HelloWorld.new(\"World\")\nhello.sayHi"
},
"hello_world.py": {
"content": "class HelloWorld:\n\n def __init__(self, name):\n self.name = name.capitalize()\n \n def sayHi(self):\n print \"Hello \" + self.name + \"!\"\n\nhello = HelloWorld(\"world\")\nhello.sayHi()"
},
"hello_world_ruby.txt": {
"content": "Run `ruby hello_world.rb` to print Hello World"
},
"hello_world_python.txt": {
"content": "Run `python hello_world.py` to print Hello World"
}
}
}

Authentication You can read public gists anonymously, but you must be signed into GitHub to create gists. To read or write gists on a user's behalf, you need the gist OAuth scope and a token. For more information, see "Scopes for OAuth Apps."
You should be authenticated else you will have only read access, thats why you are getting 200 instead of 201
Second Reason: you are using http instead of https
Use token generated from developer settings as oauth2 bearer:
