Error 403 on github issues retrieval

[jsmanrique]

While retrieving issues, it gets an error and then, next issues fetching gets a 403 (Forbidden) error:

After the issue 147 was solved, I've updated bicho and run the process again. I'm reproducing the same error as jsmanrique described (launching Bicho with automator):

This is not related with the rate, all the queries sent by Bicho using automator are failing.

Did you try using curl on the url Bicho is trying to retrieve just after the error? If you can do so, please use "curl -v", and post the result.

[albertinisg]

Thanks for the hint Jesus! Finally I understood what's happening. Using the right credentials it works with the rate limit expected so, the problem is just what it is, Error 403: Forbidden because the API rate limit was exceeded. For anyone having this issue, check https://developer.github.com/v3/rate_limit/ for further information.

I can't reproduce the error, are you sure you did not exceed the rate limit?

[sduenas]

Ok. I close it, then.
