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

Re: IceGitHubError API rate limit exceeded

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

In reply to this post by bpi

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.

Re: IceGitHubError API rate limit exceeded

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'
