GitHub is temporarily rate limiting (rejecting) requests from your machine (your IP address). You can check on your hourly quota here -
https://api.github.com/rate_limit.

The number of allowed, unauthenticated GitHub API calls per hour is likely being reached based on various build activities that you have recently performed.

An effort was recently made with within mesheryctl, Meshery Server, and the Meshery Adapters to remove any api.github.com code. I assume that a similar cleanup might be needed in build scripts of various components.

@piyushsingariya @revoly @navendu, where is the project still using api.github.com calls?

I just tried it again, I ran mesheryctl system start and mesheryctl system stop. And then again tried to start meshery again and I got the same error.

These are some other errors I noticed :

This API call should be removed by @piyushsingariya 's PR [Meshery] Removed api calls from meshey server by piyushsingariya · Pull Request #4671 · meshery/meshery · GitHub

One place mesheryctl still make the call is in an attempt to install docker-compose which would just be a single API call.

We also have an unused function here @piyushsingariya

We also still use the API call in the GitHub walker we use for getting pattern files.

There is commented out code with the API call on Meshery docs. I think these are all commented out (@warunicorn19).

Here is everywhere the API calls are used in Meshery Server:

Yup, I just checked in Meshery Docs all the API calls are commented out, is there a need to remove them?

Not really. But if it wouldn’t be used again, it wouldn’t hurt to remove it. You can open an issue and assign a new contributor to it.
