Hi @briemarie - this should work right now by passing the PAT where you would normally pass the appID, and send an empty string where the API key would normally be.

The API documentation for Personal Access Tokens is explicit about using the Bearer authorization type. It looks like the solution mentioned above works since the Basic authorization type is overloaded to accept a PAT where username usually goes.

@josler I can't find any documentation for the overloading. Is that a stable API feature I can depend on?

Hey @timhudson
The API documentation recommend to use bearer tokens but basic auth should work too so you can safely use @josler's solution above.

Just to note that we did update the README here to clarify how to use access tokens to authorize access
ic := intercom.NewClient("access_token", "")
But we will create bearer access for this once we get a chance so will leave it open for now

This also needs to be updated in the GoDoc (https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/intercom/intercom-go.v2#NewClient). It just misled me and resulted in a fair bit of time debugging.
