access git blobs via APIs

Question

I am struggling to access my git file using git APIs.

official Documentation : https://developer.github.com/v3/git/blobs/
Tha command I execute :

curl -v -H "Authorization: token 111111111111111111111111111" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw+json" -i
https://MYDOMAIN/api/v3/repos/MYOWNERNAME/MYREPOSITORY/git/blobs/{file sha value}

Error I am getting

{ "message": "Not Found", "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.20/v3/git/blobs/#get-a-blob" }

Connection #0 to host MYDOMAIN left intact

we are using GitHub Enterprise solutions.

I am not sure I have entered correct SHA value of the file also. Is there anyway to get the correct SHA value ?
Is there someone that use this way to access the git file ?

If you aren't sure if the SHA sum is correct for the blob, take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1595631/how-to-get-a-list-of-all-blobs-in-a-repository-in-git — msbit, Aug 24 '20 at 06:37

I don't have any experience with GitHub Enterprise, but I'm able to perform the following cURL request against a public repository:

curl https://api.github.com/repos/msbit/tools/git/blobs/a6628025e73c505a07305fd25507d0736725474d

with the following response:

  "encoding": "base64"
}

so perhaps the path for the URL you are looking for should be (dropping the /api/v3 part):

https://MYDOMAIN/repos/MYOWNERNAME/MYREPOSITORY/git/blobs/{file sha value}

The `http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3` is correct for GitHub Enterprise integration, based on the docs https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise/2.21/user/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#current-version — Brendan Forster, Aug 24 '20 at 12:35
Thanks @BrendanForster, that seems to be all good. It's possibly an issue of getting the correct blob hash; so hopefully OP can use the related question in my comment. — msbit, Aug 25 '20 at 01:01
