GitHub redirects with cURL-CodePudding

I was trying to create a repo in gitHub via cURL. However whenever I am trying to create the repo the it gives me the login URL via a redirect and I'm not able to proceed anywhere from there. Doesn't give me an option to insert my credentials as well. I am using my access token to login. Not sure how do I proceed from here.

So below is the piece of cURL I'm trying:

curl -H "Authorization: token" -k https://enterprise.github.com/orgs/internal/repositories -d '{\"name\": \"testRepo\", \"description\": \"my test repo\", "\private\":\true\}'

And I always get the below response back:

<html><body>You are being <a href="https://enterprise.github.com/login?return_to=https://enterprise.github.com/orgs/internal/repositories">redirected</a>.</body></html>

What I'm not able to figure out is how do I login from here and why do I have to do another login when I'm using access token to login? I have also tried using -L in the cURL, but that didn't helped either.

So I am able to get rid of the redirect issue by using the below cURL. However, now I am seeing "Cookies must be enabled to use GitHub." message as a response from the below cURL:

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer access token" \
-k -L --post302 https://enterprise.github.com/orgs/internal/repositories \
-d '{\"name\": \"testRepo\", \"description\": \"my test repo\", "\private\":\true\}'

How to get rid of this Cookies must be enabled to use GitHub. error?

The problem is that you're accessing the web interface instead of the API. For security reasons, tokens are not allowed to access the web interface.

For a GitHub Enterprise Server instance, depending on how it's configured, you either need to access something under https://api.enterprise.github.com or under https://enterprise.github.com/api/v3, depending on how your instance is configured. That is, the URL should be either https://api.enterprise.github.com/orgs/internal/repositories or https://enterprise.github.com/api/v3/orgs/internal/repositories.
