[BUG]: Can't call the list users endpoint using an App instance

[Paul Wilson]

What happened?

I'm trying to call the list users endpoint while authenticated as an app.

I expect this to return a list of users, but it gives an error.

Here's a minimal reproducing example:

const app = new App({
  appId: appId,
  privateKey: github_private_key,
});

// this is fine
//const response = await app.octokit.request("/app");

// this is broken
const response = await app.octokit.request("/users");
console.log(response);

Versions

• Octokit 3.1.2
• Node 21.2.0

Relevant log output

I get the following error:

    Error: [@octokit/auth-app] installationId option is required for installation authentication.

This sounds like I'm supposed to authenticate as an installation, but I don't want to do that.
I want to query all github users, which should be a public endpoint.
