ERROR: API Error: 429 - Too Many Requests

[hopezh]

Bug description

Basically, I had the same issue as the one reported in #1577, i.e., " was able to publish a toy example once using the command line, but have not been able to successfully do so again even when using the same procedure", quoting @jcblsn.

May I ask how to solve this issue, considering that no solution was mentioned in #1577.

The complete error message I had is shown below.

Steps to reproduce

1. I use quarto create-project oatsite2 --type website to create a quarto website project.
2. Then, I CD oatsite2, and run quarto publish quarto-pub.

Expected behavior

I should get the example website published on quartopub.com, just as the one I have published here oatsite.

Actual behavior

I got the following error:

Mostly for context, are you using a proxy, firewall or anything like that (e.g., enterprise network, etc.)?

[victorfeagins]

I get the same error but with just publishing a simple qmd file.

[mcanouil]

@victorfeagins Same question as above. The more context you give, the better Quarto team can address the issue.

[victorfeagins]

I am on campus wifi but never had a problem before. Used the quarto-pub eariler this week.

My version of quarto is 1.2.269

[mcanouil]

We are investigating the issue.
We'll report back here.

I'm using a home fiber broadband internet, and my computer is connected to it using wire, not wifi. I'm not uisng a proxy, and I have no firewall installed, as far as I know.

Some update, the "ERROR: API Error: 429 - Too Many Requests" is actually not a user side error, nor a Quarto CLI error.
The message is somehow a bit miss-leading.
To note, it should work properly now.

I confirm that I no longer have the error as reported above after successfully published a few test websites and a book to quartopub.com.

Thanks @mcanouil and the team for the quick response and fix.
