Thanks. Do we know what the rate limit is and have we seen it exceeded? Might there be a similar concern for downloads during gw update? And, finally, do you know if there's a way to increase these limits if they become a problem?

[keirf]

Ah maybe this is the 60 requests per hour anonymous limit.

Download of firmware would be probably subject to 5000/hr limit which is rather harder to hit.

I'll have a play. I'm sure I can trigger the limit.

Yeah, when I repeatedly gw info to check the F1 board I made, it triggered the rate-limit. So

greaseweazle/src/greaseweazle/tools/info.py

Line 50 in e7c655c

tag = rsp.json()['tag_name']

gave me a simple KeyError message. This made me think "is there something wrong with my F1 board?" lol.

Might there be a similar concern for downloads during gw update?

Yes.

if there's a way to increase these limits if they become a problem?

I don't know, but it shouldn't be difficult for people to just wait a little while to cool-down the limit or open github.com to manually download the firmware update?

Extended and applied to master.
