Accidently D-dos attack on Github #237

When running the commands in the beginning of module 22 I got following error message:

{"message":"API rate limit exceeded for 192.38.81.6. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}

I guess to many people calling the API from the same IP without Authentication is tinkering some safety features.

Thanks I had not thought that would be a problem, but kind of makes sense when you ask 100+ to access the same API at the same time
