Isn't 200 requests in an hour ... just three requests per minute? What is this service doing?
Maybe it's cloning all GitHub repos of a user to compute activity?
E.g. https://api.github.com/repos/aurelienlourot/ghuser.io/contri...

GitHub's API does't provide the exhaustive list of all your contributions. Instead we crawl GitHub's website which is slow. Details at https://github.com/AurelienLourot/github-contribs#how-does-i... We are in talks with GitHub and they know that we are crawling GitHub.
I'm surprised to hear that you're bottlenecking on CPU time. Could you verify that my understanding is correct? I would've thought your bottleneck would be networking and connectivity as you have to wait for GitHub to process all of the requests.
It would also be really cool if we could pull out basic private repo info as well (with the user's permission). E.g. Worked on X private repos covering 60% Go, 20% Javascript etc.
I am also a bit confused as to why you would build this if you don't work at github?

OP here. The idea came because on your GitHub profile: - I can't see all your code contributions since the beginning of time at a glance. - For each of your pinned repos, I can't tell at the first glance whether you just fixed a typo or you wrote 90% of it. ghuser.io tries to close this gap. You can show off with your entire GitHub "portfolio" and it gets refreshed every day. And hopefully this is temporary. The best…

I'm the guy fixing the typos in everybody's README :)
Could you make this work for gitlab, bitbucket and maybe even just regular old git repos as well? It would also be really cool if we could pull out basic private repo info as well (with the user's permission). E.g.

Yes totally. Although we currently think that the best for the community is GitHub improving their GitHub profiles making ghuser.io obsolete. Right now we'd rather do this with GitHub and not against GitHub. But we don't know how much GitHub is willing to help us. (We need changes to the GitHub APIs for ghuser.io to be scalable.)
> private repo
Yea we could do that as well. Give permission to our public key and we're good to go.

Because Aurelien (OP) wanted/needed that so he just built it.
To the both of us it's basically a fun experiment.
Also for me it's cool because we use the web framework Reframe (https://github.com/reframejs/reframe) which I'm currently building.

The GitHub's unofficial API we are using is slow and per IP rate limited. We spin up several servers to have several IPs to circumvent the rate limit.
(GitHub knows that we do that and we are in contact with them.)
