Github Rate Limited

[kensipe]

I would expect that liche is commonly used on GH projects. I was looking to use it for an open source project.... however I keep running into GH rate limits. I understand that nonauth rate limits are 60/hr for OAuth it is 5000/hr. details: https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting

I think we need liche to support GH rate limit controls to be useful.

We're seeing this too.

This is similar to tcort/markdown-link-check#94, where it is proposed to filter on status (and thus not to report 429 as error).

But these documented limits are for API requests only, aren't they? There are even different limits for REST API, GraphQL API, etc. Impossible that regular github.com requests are limited to 60/hr or even close to that. That would break browsing the site. But of course there are obviously limits. Good idea to allow ignoring certain error response codes.

Don't want to hijack the conversation, but lychee has a way to use a Github token to bump the rate limiting significantly. Maybe it helps someone being blocked right now. Github action is here.
