How to verify file properties on GitHub?

I have a file in a private GitHub repository that contains several properties, such as ‘status=operational’. How can I verify that the ‘status’ property is correctly set to ‘operational’?

Is there an API or library available that can read and verify the content of a file stored in a GitHub repository?

>Solution :

For a private repository try this

private static readonly string SERVER_URL = $"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/{GITHUB_OWNER}/{GITHUB_REPO}/main/";

private static string GetFileContentFromGitHub(string fileName)
{
    var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(SERVER_URL + fileName);
    webRequest.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "token " + GITHUB_TOKEN);
    webRequest.Method = "GET";

    using (var response = webRequest.GetResponse())
    {
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8)) 
        {
            return reader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
    
}

You can create a GitHub token under the developer settings.
