Could not embed GitHub Gist [gistId]: API Rate Limit Exceeded for [IP]

Make sure it is more clear to add the constants to wp-settings.php or create a admin interface for it.

It would be better to use oauth instead of basic auth because of security issues. I won't put them in public here, but I can explain them to you in a private message.

Just curious on the progress for adding some sort of plugin configuration editor to manage authentication?

@brian428 I'll make an admin panel this weekend for that.

My only concern is that pull requests might not be going anywhere (i.e., #14)? Meh, I'll do it anyway.

I am getting the same error, What is this? I don't get it? How do I resolve it?

Basically you have to use the latest version of the plugin and specify your Github un/pw in order to bump up the rate limit. This is also mentioned in the readme/FAQ: https://github.com/dflydev/embed-github-gist

My plugin is updated. How to define username and password in wp-settings?
There is any tutorial?

@sachinvermarip You need to define('EMBED_GISTHUB_USERNAME', 'yourghusername') and the likes in wp-settings.

Thanks I figured it out.

Hi,

I have the latest version of the plugin, and I've set the un/pw but I still get this error. Could be be caused by 1k visitors per day?
