Is authentication possible? #11

We are using a variation of your wonderful widget at Mozilla, to show contributors our Web QA repos, but we keep getting hit by the rate limit. Is there a way to authenticate the requests to the Github API? It seems tricky as all of the code lives client-side. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Not in the current iteration it isn't no, I would contact Github and have them set you up with an API token with higher rate limit. I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige a non-profit like Mozilla :)
