Branch analysis is working great; coverage, smells, everything perfectly.  
Only when I create a pull request, and make a new commit does this error occur.  
100% of them time, when creating a new pull request, and adding a commit on top.  
Also the pull request is valid, if I go to github pull request 6 is right there:  
[https://github.com/REDACTED/REDACTED/pull/6](https://github.com/REDACTED/REDACTED/pull/6)

I did see another another SonarCloud user with a similar [issue](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/could-not-find-the-pullrequest-with-key-69/29939/12) .  
We checked and it would appear that the sonarcloud app has access to all of our repositories on github.

The only thing that seemed material was… the other sonarcloud user with an issue was using a private repo, where as ours was an internal repo. Perhaps Sonar doesn’t work with internal repositories yet?

Using: sonar-scanner-4.7.0.2747-linux  
On: ubuntu-2004 ([circle/ci prebuilt image](https://circleci.com/developer/machine/image/ubuntu-2004))

Hello @Warfront1,

Sonar scanner is doing a call to GitHub API to verify that the pull request that you provided in the properties exists, it appears there is some issue with this call.

To investigate further, I will start a private thread where you can share, your project key, organization key.

Best,  
Marcin

Solved in a private thread. The reason for the error was using the wrong project key during the scan.
