3 years ago It looks like you haven't added your own GitHub API token to your config.
That error message comes from here: https://github.com/gousiosg/github-mirror/blob/5f001e57264ffb25b6b8add50732758574b52480/lib/ghtorrent/api_client.rb#L205
You can either update the settings directly here: https://github.com/gousiosg/github-mirror/blob/8f2fdc3f2ae2eb45156b3dcee6af9e94bd2cdf04/lib/ghtorrent/settings.rb#L62
Or a better idea would be to enter the token key inside your config.yaml like this:
https://github.com/gousiosg/github-mirror/blob/master/config.yaml.tmpl#L43
Hope that helps.
when I use this command to start my ghtorrent:ruby -Ilib bin/ght-retrieve-repo -c config.yaml gousiosg github-mirror; It will generate this warning: WARN, 2020-10-15T18:29:16+08:00, ghtorrent -- api_client.rb: Failed request.
