Deploy your own Vercel instance

[cy-Yin]

I just deployed my own instance and would like to share my experience.
The final result can be viewed at @cy-Yin : https://github.com/cy-Yin

Similar to github-readme-stats/deploy-on-your-own, with some details modified.

1. get your Personal Access Token (PAT)
   For deploying your own instance of GitHub Readme Stats, you will need to create a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT).

• Go to Account -> Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens -> Tokens (classic).
• Click on Generate new token -> Generate new token (classic).
• Scopes to select:
  • repo
  • read:user
• Click on Generate token and copy it (Note that this token is not visible after refreshing the website).

2. Vercel deployment

• Go to vercel.com.
• Click on Log in.
• Sign in with GitHub by pressing Continue with GitHub.
• Sign in to GitHub and allow access to all repositories if prompted.
• Fork this repo.
• Go back to your Vercel dashboard.
• To import a project, click the Add New... button and select the Project option.
• Click the Continue with GitHub button, search for the required Git Repository and import it by clicking the Import button. Alternatively, you can import a Third-Party Git Repository using the Import Third-Party Git Repository -> link at the bottom of the page.
• Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) as described in the previous section.
• Add the PAT as an environment variable named GITHUB_TOKEN1

Note

Very important: Note that in the github-readme-stats repo, the environment variable is named as PAT_1 as shown below. However, in this repo one must name this environment variable as GITHUB_TOKEN1. I have tried GITHUB_TOKEN, PAT_1, etc., only the GITHUB_TOKEN1 works.

• Click deploy, and you're good to go. See your domains to use the API!

I followed all the steps listed above by @cy-Yin. Not sure why but I am getting 404 after deployment on Vercel, see screenshot below

Don't worry — I ran into this issue when I deployed as well. I also clicked into other people's instances and saw the same page. For example, @codeztech-atique's deployed endpoint: https://github-profile-trophy-roan.vercel.app/. But this doesn't affect using it in your README.md.

I had to set the GITHUB_TOKEN1 env var in vercel to get it to work. Hope this helps 😄

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

Thanks for putting this together @cy-Yin, I got my vercel deployment working with my PAT but it still doesn't render the trophy image correctly on my readme

edit: i think the vercel login page is blocking requests from github, preventing readme.md rendering

edit2: yup that was it

Thank you, this worked for me!
