Github-readme-stats: Maximum retries exceeded

[klaasnicolaas]

I've tried to set up a deploy in Vercel myself, but immediately from the first moment that I want to request the data via my own url, I receive an error message: _"Maximum retries exceeded"_.

Impossible that I could have exceeded my limits right away.

Link that I use: https://github-readme-stats-beryl.vercel.app/api?username=klaasnicolaas&show_icons=true&title_color=fff&icon_color=79ff97&text_color=9f9f9f&bg_color=151515

@klaasnicolaas make sure you have a environment variable called PAT_1.

And it's not your API limit, it's the retries limit of fallback api keys

Could you add to the readme file how to do that? Also What would be the value of this environment variable?

[anuraghazra]

Yes actually sorry the readme's guide is outdated after #58 i'll update it :D

[rahulrachh]

I am still confused @anuraghazra. do we have to put our GitHub generated token in variable PAT_1 instead of GITHUB_TOKEN variable?

[anuraghazra]

Yes.... just delete the GITHUB_TOKEN variable, and instead add a token named "PAT_1"

[klaasnicolaas]

I changed the variable, it just doesn't change anything. Maybe because I need to update the fork after all today's merges?

[anuraghazra]

Update your fork, and redeploy. and make sure that you have the tokens in vercel's env variable section.

Use PullBot to automatically update your forks, https://probot.github.io/apps/pull/

Awesome! I got it working 😄

Thanks, by the way, for the pull probot app tip, which is super handy than that I always have to manually update everything.

[rahulrachh]

@anuraghazra it is working 😄 . Yeah, thanks by the way for the pull bot.
