Avoid 429 Response code (Too many requests)

[Ryrden]

Hi, I implemented the Ci/CD pipeline with the publish-devto a long time ago when I just had 2 or 3 articles but now I have the double (cause it was translated), and I'm getting 429 HTTP status code and I'd like to ask for help, What could I do to avoid this? any retry flag to configure or workaround?

here is my script

name: publish
on:
  push: 
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: "contains(github.event.head_commit.message, 'post:')"

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Publish articles on dev.to
        uses: sinedied/publish-devto@v2
        with:
          devto_key: ${{ secrets.DEVTO_TOKEN }}
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          files: '_posts/**/*.md'
          branch: main
          conventional_commits: true

Yes, I've hit that issue also. There are a few changes that could be made to fix that error:

• Only call the API for the files that were actually modified, but that can only work with PRs and not with regular commits (as actions can run for a changeset of multiple commits)
• Detect errors 429 in https://github.com/sinedied/devto-cli, and add delay + retry when it occurs

Unfortunately, I have currently no time to spend on this, but any PRs are welcome.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

The idea of only calling for modified files it's great but this means analyzing my part on changed files from a commit (the problem you mentioned I think). Unfortunately, this will solve just my problem and you have already said that it's an existent issue...

The second idea looks great, knowing can solve other users' problems, I didn't see the codebase yet but knowing the code must call the devto-cli I think I can open a PR to fix it.

I found the same issue on devto-cli codebase: https://github.com/sinedied/devto-cli/issues/33

next days probably I'll look and try to open a PR. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the PR!

I've released a new version of the CLI and updated the github actions, let me know if it fixes your issue.

I've just tested the pipeline on my website, and yes! it's fixed!

Thanks a lot!
