Handle rate limit
prein opened this issue · comments
Did you consider handling GH API rate limits with exponential backoff?
Alternative idea: run the tool on schedule and collect data in chunks and combine later. Or collect data incrementally. Makes sense?
Hi @prein
The current solution if you're running into rate limits is to run on a shorter time-frame, or to filter out misc repos.
What's the maximum you've been able to run with? 7 days?
Full historical data is available for actuated customers stored in a performant database, with insights added.
Hi @alexellis and thanks for reply. The max I can do for all repos is 1d, I can do 7d for the most busy repo.
