Thanks for putting this project together, this is really cool!

I am running into an issue with my project and I am hoping to see if I am doing everything correctly.

⚠️ Error I am experiencing

Error: There was an error generating the updated file: Cannot read property 'monthlyPriceInCents' of null ❌

👨‍🔬 Configuration Settings

Sponsorship Type: organization

I am attempting to access the sponsors for Server Side Up (https://github.com/sponsors/serversideup) through the user "serversideup-bot" (https://github.com/serversideup-bot)

My README file

https://github.com/serversideup/spin/blob/main/README.md

My WorkFlow

https://github.com/serversideup/spin/blob/main/.github/workflows/sponsors.yml

Personal Access Token Scopes

🤔 Current Results

Currently, I am not seeing anything appear on my README: https://github.com/serversideup/spin

🙏 Expected Results

• I would like anyone who is defined as supporters to appear on our README automatically

❓Questions

I saw the discussion on #450, but I have a few questions:

1. I assume using a dedicated "bot user" is the best method? I am unsure of other methods for creating access tokens as an organization
2. Are my configurations correct? Or is this possibly a bug in the action itself?

This looks correct to me. Does the bot user have org admin access? Seems like this is likely a permission error, although it's odd that it's throwing on the price in cents.

I'm also curious if you're able to run a graphql query in the GitHub api explorer from this user for sponsorship data and see if it properly returns - https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer

Changing the bot user to an "Owner" on the team, helped me get one step closer!

What it did

It was able to get me sponsors data! (see the diff →).

When I did this, I accidentally had my settings set to minimum:

Where I am at now

• If I change it to maximum, it is returning my "fallback"

Next steps

I am very grateful for your help on this awesome project! Let me know if I should open a new issue or not? I didn't know if the maximum issue was related to the first error that I was getting.

The maximum and minimum values let you specify a range. If you want to show all sponsors, don't specify either at all. However if you want users to pay a certain amount before showing their avatar, then you'll want to set a minimum value (note: it's priced in cents not dollars). The idea of the maximum value is to cap sponsors at a certain amount so you can separate them by pricing tiers, there's a guide on this in the readme here.

If none of your sponsors match the criteria specified then the fallback will be shown. In your case your sponsor has paid more than 5 cents, and as a result the fallback is being shown. Keep in mind you can run the sponsorship job multiple times in a given workflow, so you can have fallbacks for different pricing tiers should you choose too.

Thanks @JamesIves! Sorry for missing that in the docs. Changing my maximum to 500 solved my problem 😅

This project is incredible. Thank you so much for your work and your friendly & timely support 🙌
