gh_rate_limit function

Return GitHub user's current rate limits

gh_rate_limits() reports on all rate limits for the authenticated user. gh_rate_limit() reports on rate limits for previous successful request.

Further details on GitHub's API rate limit policies are available at https://docs.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting.

gh_rate_limit(
  response = NULL,
  .token = NULL,
  .api_url = NULL,
  .send_headers = NULL
)

gh_rate_limits(.token = NULL, .api_url = NULL, .send_headers = NULL)

Arguments

• response: gh_response object from a previous gh call, rate limit values are determined from values in the response header. Optional argument, if missing a call to "GET /rate_limit" will be made.

• .token: Authentication token. Defaults to GITHUB_PAT or GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables, in this order if any is set. See gh_token() if you need more flexibility, e.g. different tokens for different GitHub Enterprise deployments.

• .api_url: Github API url (default: https://api.github.com). Used if endpoint just contains a path. Defaults to GITHUB_API_URL

  environment variable if set.

• .send_headers: Named character vector of header field values (except Authorization, which is handled via .token). This can be used to override or augment the default User-Agent header: "https://github.com/r-lib/gh".

Returns

A list object containing the overall limit, remaining limit, and the limit reset time.
