Github Rate Limitations

[bribenn]

Overview

We are having issues with making API calls and have concerns about hitting the rate limits set by Github. We need to research to know exactly what the limits are and then find a solution given that constraint.

Action Items

• Research and document the minute, hourly, perhaps daily or monthly rate limits
• Define a solution such as writing back-off code or limiting the number of API calls made
• Implement the solution

Resources/Instructions

• Look out for "429" error code to help find limitations.
