while running locally, you can

export GH_TOKEN=YOUR PERSONAL ACCESS TOKEN

to create PAT https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

although the export command will set it only for the current shell session.

we can put the export statement in .bashrc file or other files that your shell loads.

we may also use a .env file. We need to load the contents of .env using python-dotenv.

Once loaded the GH_TOKEN env var will be available to webdriver manager

# .env
GH_TOKEN=...

in github actions, from the same ip address, so the many tests run. 3*2 = 6 times in a short period of time. that's why so many requests to the apis. and rate limit is exceeded.

but when tests locally, its less likely to exceed rate limits

after seeing the source code of webdriver manager, I finally found this

https://github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager/blob/ed0727738285e22767f7bb8b77c432566d31fccf/webdriver_manager/driver.py#L71

this is the part of the code, which deals with gh token.
