API rate limit exceeded (Request failed with status code 403) #33

I got this error after a certain number (small) of requests that I made to a specific API. GitHub has these rates limit depends on the account (Authenticated/unAuthenticated) you might have.

How to consider a such request is Authenticated or unAuthenticated?
How the personal Token is related to this issue?

The error message: "API rate limit exceeded for XX.XXX.XXX.XXX. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)"

GitHub limits the number of REST API requests that you can make within a specific amount of time. This limit helps prevent abuse and denial-of-service attacks, and ensures that the API remains available for all users.
