Unable to download https://www.atom.io/api/packages/environment/versions/1.1.1/tarball: 403 Forbidden API rate limit exceeded for 208.78.110.199. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

This can be avoided by using a token for atom.io and avoiding anonymous use of the API.

How do you use a token? I tried setting it using apm login and export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=XXX, neither seem to work.

Reopening this because #40 did not fix it.

@elierotenberg, I generated a new atom.io token from my GitHub token settings. Then I ran: apm login

Instead of using the API token provided on the Atom account page (the atom token starts with an underscore..) I used the GitHub token I just generated and was able to download again.

Hope that helps!

Thanks @jwdomingo, I tried this but unfortunately it didn't work in my case either. I may have another problem. I'll update this thread if I find anything helpful...

Per atom/apm#526, this is now resolved via a change in atom.io.
