also, it says that authenticated requests have a much higher "rate limit". Unauthenticated requests only get 60 req/hour ?? seems more like a quota than a "rate limit" (although I guess that is semantic equivalence)

You would want to use x-ratelimit-reset

time.sleep(r['x-ratelimit-reset'] + 1 - time.time())

But a more complete solution would bring authenticated requests to the other subcommands. I'm surprised only github-to-sqlite get is using the --auth= CLI flag

I've been looking into how to to get this data out of Github (especially now there are "secondary rate limits" without an advertised allowance separate from the regular rate limits.

I've had decent success with the Airbyte github extractor (aside from one data quality issue https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/15420 ). Airbyte splits data extraction between the GraphQL and REST endpoints depending on the resource type, but they're very comprehensive.

https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/306a75ef5370728e0912cf52a1a898a530db0c90/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-github/source_github/streams.py#L22-L122

Before this, I tried a few solutions in my own custom wrapper mentioned in this thread + its children https://github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub/issues/1989 , but they weren't working as expected.

I don't have much experience with github's rate limiting. In my day job we use the tenacity library to handle http errors we get.

This just caused a failure in deploying the demo: https://github.com/dogsheep/github-to-sqlite/runs/1471304407?check_suite_focus=true
