To whom it may concern,

 

Hi, I am new to the cBioPortal packages and I was trying the code on R the first time. Unfortunately, it’s really frustrating because the first line of code provided on the document didn’t work.

 

I tried to copy the code on the R studio: cbio <- cBioPortal(). The code doesn’t work because error said “.service_get_api_file failed: Too many requests (RFC 6585) (HTTP 429).” I didn’t find a solution online, so I am just wondering if there is a way to fix this? Thank you!

 

Best,

Yue
