github rate limit

[lukemarsden]

after using gptscript for a while with github-hosted tools, I start hitting this:

2024/05/04 08:38:36 failed resolving github.com/gptscript-ai/search/duckduckgo at ./get-blog-posts-search.gpt: failed to GitHub commit of gptscript-ai/search at HEAD: 403 Forbidden {"message":"API rate limit exceeded for <my-ip>. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}

At first I thought this was duckduckgo rate limiting me, but then I realised it was github when resolving the module itself!

Can we cache the result of whatever we're using the github API for?

One way to work around the problem is to set the following env variable - GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN

@sangee2004 is this in docs? could we put it in the FAQ if it isnt?

[sangee2004]

It is not currently present in our docs. I will have it added to FAQ section.

We now have documentation for handling github rate limit issue in FAQ section - #646
