How to upload content via Github API to hidden folder name?

I am trying to upload a Github action workflow via the Github V3 API.

I am trying to do the following to upload the main.yaml file to .github/workflows/main.yaml:

await this.put(`https://api.github.com/repos/${this.ownerName}/${this.repoName}/contents/.github/workflows/main.yaml`, {
  message: title,
  content,
  sha,
  branch: newBranch
})

It seems as though including the .github in the file path of the URL returns a 404. Is it possible to upload to a hidden directory? Maybe I need to escape the . somehow?

It might be that used personal access token (PAT) has insufficient permissions. Slightly unintuitive, but to upload workflow files, the PAT needs to have a "Workflow" scope enabled too, not only have a write access to repo.

It is at tokens and looks like:
