The GitHub API rate limit {% if is_authenticated %} for basic auth {% endif %} has been reached for the hour.
{% if is_authenticated %}Sorry for the inconvenience.
{% endif %}GitHub imposes a limit of 60 requests/hour when using their API without authentication.
This prevents people from anonymously abusing GitHub's system.
As for Grip, it's built to appear as close to GitHub as possible. Using GitHub's API allows Grip to immediately and accurately reflect any updates from GitHub, without the delay of busy maintainers or requiring you to upgrade.
Until the offline renderer is complete, you can run Grip using
the --user
and --pass
arguments to use basic auth,
giving you 5,000 requests/hour. Run grip -h
for details.
I do apologize for the inconvenience. If you need help, or have ideas on improving this experience, please reach out joe@joeyespo.com
