Get secret gists using Github GraphQL - github

Question

As title, I'm using Github GraphQL explorer to fetch list of my gists.
query {
viewer {
gists(first:5, privacy:ALL) {
edges {
node {
id
description
name
pushedAt
}
}
}
}
}
Everything works fine except that the secret gists are not included in the response. When I tried to fetch secret gists by changing the GistPrivacy from ALL to SECRET as below:
query {
viewer {
gists(first:5, privacy:SECRET) {
edges {
node {
id
description
name
pushedAt
}
}
}
}
}
The following permission error occurred:
{
"data": {
"viewer": {
"gists": {
"edges": []
}
}
},
"errors": [
{
"message": "You don't have permission to see gists."
}
]
}
I wonder is there any way to solve this problem.
I noticed that there was a related questions with irrelevant answer asked 5 years ago.
Any comment or help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

As it turns out, although one can't get the secret gists from the Github GraphQL explorer directly, by creating a Personal Access Tokens and using it to access the GraphQL API, one can get the secret gists.
The equivalent curl command is as following:
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.github.com/graphql \
--header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"query":"query {\n viewer {\n gists(first:5, privacy:ALL) {\n\t\t\tedges {\n\t\t\t\tnode {\n\t\t\t\t\tid\n\t\t\t\t\tdescription\n\t\t\t\t\tname\n\t\t\t\t\tpushedAt\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n }\n}"}'
