Github API: Unable to get list of members of an organization from code ... Although the same works from Postman

I am trying to fetch the list of members of any given organization on Github.com ... When I try it with Postman using the below Url and a Personal Access Token ... It works

"https://api.github.com/orgs/{orgname}/members"

But when I try it using my C# code with the same Url and Personal Access Token ... I get an empty Array instead ... What could I be missing? There are no errors since the HTTP Status Code is success ... But the Body of the response is an empty array like below: "[]"

After @Martin Costello comment above I used fiddler to analyze the two requests ... One sent using Postman and the other from my code ... It turns out that the way I was setting the Authorization header was incorrect ... This is how I was sending it earlier

_baseClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", authInfo);

Vs.

_baseClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", authInfo);

The second approach works ... Feel kind of silly ... But thanks to @Martin Costello for the hint to analyze the requests using a Network traffic analyzer
