title: Increase Github API limit
body: <p>I have a PHP application that uses the Github API to check if the local system of the user is up to date with the lastest version on Github.</p>
  
  <p>By default you can only query the API 60 times per hour. But i can increase this when i authenticate first. But, you can also increase the rate limit without authenticating. Which is what i want.</p>
  
  <p>The example that i found says i only have to call this URL through <code>CUrl</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://api.github.com/users/whatever?client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&amp;client_secret=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Not sure if this will work, also no idea what they mean with <strong><em>whatever</em></strong> in the URL.</p>
  
  <p>In anyway this should do trick for increasing the rate limit. But they also say the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This method should only be used <strong>for server-to-server calls</strong>. You should
    <strong>never share your client secret with anyone</strong> or include it in
    client-side browser code.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Since my application is an "open source" PHP application, then that basically means i'm going to share my secret key with others who use my application...</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way to increase the rate limit, without worrying that i'm sharing sensitive data with others?</p>
