Github API limit exceeded

[saviomartin]

Hello there 👋,
I was working on Github API for my side project. I used the graphql API playground for getting the data. But, now I am seeing that API rate limit exceeded for 157.44.177.10. How could I increase this. I have already given the token in my header.

headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authentication: "token xxxx",
}

I tried to find the remaining requests for me out of 60. I get this

x-ratelimit-limit: 0
x-ratelimit-remaining: 0
x-ratelimit-reset: 1613380487
x-ratelimit-used: 0
content-length: 279

I waited for the time to get it reset. That is

1613380487 = 14:44:47

I just want to use the Github graphql API. Pls, help. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 😊

The rate limit according to their docs is 5000 for authenticated users. Did you use all of this allowance already? Maybe look at optimising your application.

When it resets what number do you get?

"graphql": {
      "limit": 5000,
      "remaining": 4993,
      "reset": 1372700389
    },

Hello @eddiejaoude ,
Thanks for your attention. I tried that https://api.github.com/rate_limit. This is what, I get.

{
  "resources": {
    "core": {
      "limit": 60,
      "remaining": 59,
      "reset": 1613392339,
      "used": 1
    },
    "graphql": {
      "limit": 0,
      "remaining": 0,
      "reset": 1613392396,
      "used": 0
    },
    "integration_manifest": {
      "limit": 5000,
      "remaining": 5000,
      "reset": 1613392624,
      "used": 0
    },
    "search": {
      "limit": 10,
      "remaining": 10,
      "reset": 1613389084,
      "used": 0
    }
  },
  "rate": {
    "limit": 60,
    "remaining": 59,
    "reset": 1613392339,
    "used": 1
  }
}

I had been in this problem for last 2 days. I waited to get the graphql reset but it is not resetting. What could I do next?

[eddiejaoude]

it looks like you are not authenticated, otherwise the core limit would be 5000 not 60, you will see this in the docs link I shared

"core": {
      "limit": 5000,
      "remaining": 4999,
      "reset": 1372700873
    },

Ok, I got it. Maybe I would not be authorized. How could I authorize it then?? I just passed my token in the headers.

headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authentication: "token xxxx",
}

Anything more should I do??

maybe have a look at:
