Go deeper with a read-only GitHub token
Without a token, GitHub allows 60 requests/hour shared by your whole
IP — enough to browse, not to dig. A token raises it to 5,000/h.
- Create a fine-grained token ↗
- Repository access: Public repositories (read-only) — grants nothing else, can read public data only
- Skip all other permissions, set a short expiry, Generate
- Paste it in the box — it stays in this browser only (localStorage) and is sent only to api.github.com
Clear the box anytime to forget it.
