IceGitHubError API rate limit exceeded
Hi, I followed these instructions for contributing to Pharo: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/wiki/Contribute-a-fix-to-Pharo During Step 1 Repairing local repository missing I get the following error: IceGitHubError: API rate limit exceeded I retried with a new Pharo 7.0 - 64bit (development version) in Pharo Launcher and got the same error. I searched the mailing list but did not find anything. Am I really the only one who ever encountered this? Any tips? Cheers, Bernhard
Hi Bernhard, I did not go deep in it but this could be related or similar: -> https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg#for-pharo-61 -> If you get a API rate limit exceeded error from github, like "Error accessing tags for github project: 'pharo-vcs/iceberg' -> 'API rate limit exceeded for...." then you can replace the metacello statement above with: Metacello new githubUser: 'pharo-vcs' project: 'Iceberg' commitish: 'v1.?' path: ''; baseline: 'Iceberg'; load. -> https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting regards Sabine Am Sa., 12.

github allows 60 unauthenticated requests per hour per IP. IF you authenticate your requests you can make 5,000 per hour. If you don't want to wait an hour after hitting this error you should create a personal, no scope token following the instructions here: https://blog.github.com/2013-05-16-personal-api-tokens/ The no-scope token can only be used to read public repository information and cannot make any changes to any of your repos. You can use the token to authenticate your requests by setting your github username as the username and the token as the password in a HTTP basic authentication request to their servers. I know ZnClient has #username:password: and so guess that Iceberg has or can have a similar method. Dont share the token. bpi wrote

hi - Once you get a no-scope token from https://github.com/settings/tokens You can configure Monticello to use it to access github by running MCGitHubRepository siteUsername: 'myUsername' sitePassword: 'token' Paul DeBruicker wrote
