title: github api is it possible to bring down requests?
body: <p>Playing around with the Github API, I see that there is a limit of 5,000 requests an hour. Is there a way to increase this? (Not the main question)</p>
  
  <p>When I hit the <code>/users/:username/events</code> endpoint, I get back an array of events. The ones that are <code>PushEvent</code> have an array called <code>commits</code>. Each commit has its own endpoint that I can hit to pull more data.</p>
  
  <p>This racks up requests super quickly and I was wondering if there was a better way to do this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
