display() in geojsonio gives 401 error

I am trying to Visualize a geojson file.

import geojsonio as gj
contents = open("taluk.geojson").read()
gj.display(contents)

But it gives the below error:

AuthenticationFailed                      Traceback (most recent call last)

AuthenticationFailed: 401 Requires authentication

Solution

It tries to create a gist on GitHub. My guess is that it was once possible to do this anonymously, but not anymore. Now you need to authenticate.

What needs to be changed is the _make_gist in geojsonio.py. Replace

ghapi = github3.GitHub()

ghapi = github3.login('username', password='password')
