"message":"API rate limit exceeded about wordpress-markdown-git HOT 5 CLOSED

Ouch.. yeah right. That indeed is a problem I didn't think about.. Damn it. No matter which provider is chosen the plugin is requesting Github's /markdown endpoint. Since that request (currently) is not authenticated, Github rate limits heavily to 60 requests per minute: https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting

It's alright for 99% of the articles but heavily trafficked blogs will run into problems. Or even during development, as you encountered I guess.

Let me fix that soon. And please bump if I forget about it.

Ah, actually I think this is fine the way it is tbh. Github says they restrict to 60 calls per hour per IP, meaning a single computer would have to request a post more than once a minute 60 times before the hour ends in order to be rate limited.

I think it's reasonable to assume that that won't happen unless you're in heavy testing.

I'll close but anyone who thinks their users are reading like pros can implement this :)

Argh, no idea what's wrong today..

Of course it's a problem.. The "user" is the server and can actually only serve 60 requests per hour which doesn't require a lot of users to achieve.

Ok, this overtakes a lot of things in the priority lane. Will fix asap.

And sorry for the spam..

Auto-closed by Github and my stupidity. This is fixed now in current master @LuigiBella. You'll have to provide your Github credentials in config.json to increase the API rate limit.

Also this is fixed with 1.0.2 release:
