Jenkins 2.0 Piplines with GitHub Organization Folder Plugin and API rate_limit issues

[Kyle Partridge]

I have an organization that has > 300 repos. When I try to use the github organization folder plugin to build pipelines in Jenkins 2.0, I will always hit the rate_limit and the process that builds the jobs errors out, due to the 5000 requests per hour that github enforces. I knew this would be a problem, as I have had similar problems with the GitHub Pull Request Builder plugin in the past.

Is this a plugin that I cannot use without upgrading to GitHub enterprise? Is there any alternative way of using this plugin that would work for our situation? I have attempted using the event webhooks, but that ultimately seems to lead to the same problem.

Any thoughts here?

Thanks,

Kyle Partridge

Probably the plugin needs to be optimized to make fewer requests. I do not believe it has been carefully analyzed in this regard. Ideally GitHub would make your limit proportional to the size of the organization.
