Github-readme-stats: All stats card and repo features are down. Error cannot fetch user is shown on all cards including your readme #bug

[ApurvShah007]

[filiptronicek]

Same here, too.

[filiptronicek]

Probably hit the API limit.... @ApurvShah007

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra Is there any possible solution? I really like this feature and I am down to help fix this issue. @filiptronicek Thats probably what happened

[anuraghazra]

Github API limit is hit. it should be up in some time

[anuraghazra]

It's really a bummer that github api only allows 5k requests per hour. sorry guys i'll see what i can do to fix the issues.

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra That is a bummer, how do you plan to fix it? Will it fix itself?

[anuraghazra]

It will fix itself after a window of time, but i'm working on a proper fix so that it should not happen too often

[filiptronicek]

But it is just a temporary solution, I think there is just one solution: delete the Vercel project, don't let anyone use it, and force everyone to use their self-hosted version with their own PAT.

[anuraghazra]

Thats an option too @filiptronicek https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#deploy-on-your-own-vercel-instance

[ApurvShah007]

@filiptronicek I was about to suggest the same thing, I am pretty sure everyone can host their own requests making it self-sufficient.

[filiptronicek]

I know, I host one myself, but I would make it mandatory, it isn't very wise to encourage people to use something, that doesn't work a lot of the time. This project just doesn't scale well, although it is an awesome tool!

[anuraghazra]

Yup i agree. i might migrate to doing that, but i'm currently experimenting with caching and collaborating with @statically.io to see what would work best.

[ApurvShah007]

@filiptronicek and @anuraghazra am I supposed to deploy it on the repo that exists or should I make a new one? I am kind of a boomer sorry.

[anuraghazra]

you can fork this repo and click on the deploy button after that generate your github personal token and use put it on vercel

[filiptronicek]

I suggest you fork the repo, and set up Vercel with that repo because then you can always update your own

[filiptronicek]

Talking of the self-hosted version, any idea why I have an A++ ranking on the official site, but in my own instance, I have a ranking of just A+, nothing, that would anger me or something, but it still is weird. @anuraghazra

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra @filiptronicek do I allow it to install on all my repos?

[filiptronicek]

Yes, I would suggest you do, for future usage, but if you don't plan on using it, just install it on the one fork @ApurvShah007

[ApurvShah007]

@filiptronicek Well I plan to have the GitHub readme stats card and feature a few repos on my profile readme. IDK what I should do

[filiptronicek]

Just allow all repos then, will be easier @ApurvShah007

[filiptronicek]

Another idea @anuraghazra, we could implement multiple PATs like this:
try request with PAT_1.... fail
try request with PAT_2....fail
try request with PAT_3....sucess

We could handle 50K request with just 10 tokens, every hour

[ApurvShah007]

Is it back up for everyone or did I set up my Vercel correctly?

[filiptronicek]

It is back up @ApurvShah007

[anuraghazra]

Talking of the self-hosted version, any idea why I have an A++ ranking on the official site, but in my own instance, I have a ranking of just A+, nothing, that would anger me or something, but it still is weird. @anuraghazra

Yup there is some issues with ranking system its currently biased, checkout #41 #49 for more info.

[ApurvShah007]

Ok I still want to set up mine properly. I let it install on all my repos and the project is up on Vercel

[anuraghazra]

try request with PAT_1.... fail
try request with PAT_2....fail
try request with PAT_3....sucess

@filiptronicek

What are PATs?

Can we do that? like each github personal token would have its own 5k limit?

[ApurvShah007]

@filiptronicek @anuraghazra I feel like you should make a guide on how to set up the while thing. Specially for people like me

[filiptronicek]

PATs are personal access tokens, if we had more, we could do more requests

[anuraghazra]

@filiptronicek @anuraghazra I feel like you should make a guide on how to set up the while thing.

Yup i'll do it tomorrow got 3 same questions today.

[filiptronicek]

I can do it today, and make a PR @anuraghazra

Oh personal access token, okay i was like "huh whats PAT!" Yes i can make more PATs but can you confirm if that works? i never tried it.

[anuraghazra]

I can do it today, and make a PR @anuraghazra

Of course, please :heart:

[filiptronicek]

Ok, so @anuraghazra

We could just gather 10 users to get 10 different user PATs!

[ApurvShah007]

@filiptronicek I don't mind being one user if you ever need it. Just let me know what to do.

[garvit-joshi]

@filiptronicek @anuraghazra, count me in.

[anuraghazra]

Sounds great 😃 @ApurvShah007 @garvit-joshi thanks for the support, I highly appreciate it.

Can you guys leave your Twitter so that I can contact you about this.

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra I don't have a twitter we can do LinkedIn or Insta too if that works

[anuraghazra]

@ApurvShah007 insta would work 😃

[infinity-plus]

Can we not add a clause that fetches new updates every 24 hours and use the image obtained for whole day? Just a suggestion, I'm noob.

[anuraghazra]

@infinity-plus 24 hours Is a bit much, I think you would like the stats to be frequently updated. Currently I have 5min cache setup, so I'll fetch new data every 5min

[infinity-plus]

@anuraghazra I don't think anybody checks my git every 5mins tho, + this repo is getting popular
Maybe 1 hr?

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra The live number of visitors is also dead. Not sure if I took it from your repo or not but do you have any idea?

[anuraghazra]

@anuraghazra The live number of visitors is also dead. Not sure if I took it from your repo or not but do you have any idea?

No there is no relation with that thing whatsoever.

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra is the link I am using. Any idea why its down?

[TheAshwanik]

@anuraghazra The live number of visitors is also dead. Not sure if I took it from your repo or not but do you have any idea?

Yes. It hit the rate limit too.
I had to deploy my own instance.. similar to this one.

[garvit-joshi]

@TheAshwanik , acc. to my understanding the issue has been fixed, PAT have been increased, I am using the original instance and it works fine.

@garvit-joshi I was talking about the "live number of visitors"
This one: https://visitor-badge.glitch.me/badge?page_id=xxxx

[ApurvShah007]

@TheAshwanik I would also like to deploy my own so I dont run into the same problem. It would be helpful if you can make a short tutorial on that.

Will do..

[anuraghazra]

@ApurvShah007 @TheAshwanik can you guys continue the discussions regarding visitor badge here: https://github.com/jwenjian/visitor-badge

It's the official repo, please open an issue there.

Since this repo does not have any connection with visitor badge I think it's not the right place to discuss it. Otherwise you can always hop into my discord server if you have any issues. Thanks!

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra Sorry about that. I would love a link to your discord.
