rate limit #36

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

GitHub Search API rate limit reached

where can i an api token to not get rate limiting?

techgaun commented 5 years ago

@soupnatzi we can not really bypass github's rate limits but this library should already be handling and re-running the calls after gracefully waiting for the rate limit to get over. If that's not the case and you still hit rate limits, we should look into it.

can we just add a personal token to bypass some rate limiting?i mean i just ran the tool and instantly the rate limit came up?this is just a suggestion

techgaun commented 5 years ago

@soupnatzi you should already be able to do that. if you look at readme, you can either specify GH_TOKEN (which is your personal access token) or GH_USER / GH_PWD as environment variables to get the rate limits of authenticated users which is higher than anonymous calls
