Is API call rate limit for all users ?

[gourav]

GitHub API call limit is restricted to 5k/hour. Is this limit for all users ? I mean for everyone using the public staticman API instance ?

With this, for a single pull request, app will consume at least 4 Github API call quota for a single comment process request ?

If that is the case, the maximum amount of comment requests that public instance of StaticMan can serve is restricted around ~1k/hr, which means other than first 1k comment requests, all other comment requests are ignored by GitHub ?

Is that the case ?

It is. Currently the public instance of Staticman is not scalable.

Some solutions include using Gitlab, or self-hosting your Staticman instance (see #222, #227). Or maybe we could make the public instance scalable by making it a Github app (#243)

#243,
In process.

Closing in favour of #243. Thanks!
